In the 1930 census of Salem, Mass. "Henry Armstrong Jr." is living with his aunt and uncle Emile and Irene Guerrette. These two are mentioned as being his parents in his obituary, so apparently his real parents Henry and Lillian (Belanger) were out of the picture by the time their son was two years old. Lillian and Irene were sisters, daughters of Leon and Elizabeth Belanger. However, in the 1940 census Emile Guerrette is a widowed head of household with Henry J. Guerrette as his son and Irene as his sister-in-law. The age of Irene in both censuses suggest she is the same person. 
His parents were living at 16 Roslyn Street in Salem when he was born.1
