1920 United States Federal Census, San Francisco County, California, population schedule, San Francisco Assembly District 24, Enumeration District 302, Page 5A, Dwelling #318, Family #80, Severt O. Leland household, digital image, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com); citing National Archives Microfilm Series T625, Roll 14.

The Severt O. Leland family apparently moved to San Francisco between 1911 (when Leo Severt Leland was born in Montana) and 1915 (when Alda Frances Leland was born in California.  Amelia's brother, Nicholas F. Brocke was in the household, which provides Amelia's maiden name.  Amelia and Nicholas' parents were born in Virginia and Missouri, respectively.  Severt was a clerk working for the government.

Severt O. (1878-1940) and Amelia A. (Brocke) (1884-1975) Leland are my wife's grandparents, and Leo Severt Leland (1911-2002) is my wife's father.
