  Birth Notes:

He was born in either Ohio or California. The 1930 census has California (both his parents born in Ohio), but the 6 Dec 1928 application for a marriage license has Ohio.

If this is the same Joseph H. McBride as is buried in Hills of Eternity Memorial Park in Colma, California (findagrave.com memorial ID 103949057), he was born on 28 Sep 1898 in Ohio.

  Death Notes:

If this is the same Joseph H. McBride as is buried in Hills of Eternity Memorial Park in Colma, California (findagrave.com memorial ID 103949057), he was born on 28 Sep 1898 in Ohio and died on 13 Feb 1969 in San Francisco. The findagrave.com record has an excerpt from his obituary, which has his widow as "Helen Kurtzman McBride" and his daughter as "Mrs. Leland E. Olander."

The 1930 census gives his occupation as "Stevedore."

Joseph married Helen Theo Wallace, daughter of William Havelock Wallace and Mabel Clare Gold, on 6 Dec 1928 in San Mateo, California, United States.¹ (Helen Theo Wallace was born on 30 Sep 1901 in Belview, Redwood, Minnesota, United States,⁴ died on 21 May 1973 in Colma, San Mateo, California, United States ^{5 6} and was buried in Cypress Lawn Memorial Park, Colma, San Mateo, California, United States ⁷.)

  Marriage Notes:

The marriage license application has Joseph H. McBride as a native of Ohio, age 32 years, residing at 916 East 95th St., Cleveland, Ohio. It has Helen E. Wallace as a native of Minnesota, age 27 years, residing at 1431 Linden Ave., Long Beach, California. The application does not ask whether either had been married previously (current marital status).

The data in the 1930 census (17 April 1930) differ slightly in the following ways:
- Joseph H. McBride born in California rather than Ohio, 32. age 30 at the time of his first marriage (i.e., this one)
- Helen E. Wallace is Theo McBride, 27, age 17 at the time of her first marriage (i.e., this one is her 2nd or 3rd). Though the census shows her father as born in Scotland, this is incorrect; he was born in Ontario, Canada.
