Surnames: Brumley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RS.2ADE/1154.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I used the information that both of you supplied and found on the 1930 cenus for Tishomingo County, Mississippi the following: William A. Brumley(57) with wife, Handly B. (46), and children Kirmet M?, Avon M., Doyle W., William E., Chester P. This appears to be the same family as the ones mentioned on the 1920 census. Perhaps, Handly B. is Bessie L.. Do you know when Bessie died? Or if William and Bessie divorced? William A. and Bessie Brumley can also be found on the 1910 census for Cloverdale, Lauderdale County, Alabama. There are 3 children listed: Zella , Arie ?, and May. Zella is six. So I'm wondering if William A. and Bessie married around 1904? Do you have birth, marraige, or death records for William A. Brumley? I could not find these online and did not find William A. and Bessie Brumley on the 1900 census for Mississippi and Alabama. Zella is stated as being born in Tennessee. I found a Robert Brumley with Pearle Brumley in Jackson, Tenn. on the 1900 census and believe this may be my grandfather. Perhaps William A. and Bessie Brumley were in Tenn. in 1900 also.
