Actually there was no hanky panky in the availability of legally getting married. Pure shotgun. Lulen's father went to the Klondike looking for gold with his eldest son. Left the middle son home with mother and his younger brother under his care. He met a sweet pretty young scots woman who was barely 17named Ella May, and the rest became history. Ora was born in March 1900. I have been unable to find a record of either Ora's birth or Ella and Lulen Travis' marriage. It was recorded in the family bible though, but his second wife wouldn't let me see it, and in fact became very angry with me when I found out through Lulen's brother that it was a shotgun. I guess I may never find those two dates.

Hello everyone, In commemoration of next year's centennial of the 1906 disaster, we're starting a project focusing on 1906 "Earthquake Weddings"...that is, marriages which occurred in San Francisco immediately after the 1906 earthquake and fire. We're hoping to put together a list of the marriages in San Francisco between 18 April and 18 May 1906, and we'd like to include images of marriage documents, photographs, stories, etc. If you have information on this topic or would like to help with the project, please contact us! Thank you! Ron and Pam Ron Filion [email protected] Pamela Storm Wolfskill [email protected] San Francisco Genealogy: http://www.sfgenealogy.com

She was born in Oakland on June 17, 1910 to Huriah and Lula Watkins. Because of her poor health at birth, the family was forced to move to the Capay Valley, where she and his siblings were reared. She graduated from Esparto High School in 1930. Mabel was very proud of becoming "Woman of the Year" in 1991. She was quite active in the AARP, served four years as president of the Yolo General Hospital Auxiliary, a tutor for the HOSTS (Help One Student To Succeed) program and was very successful with her catering business. Her husband, Laurence "Bucky" Thomas preceded her in death, in 1999, as well as her sister Eloise Brown, and her brothers William, Archie, Herbert, Clyde, Lionel, and Herman Watkins. A nephew, Martin Watkins, and great-grandniece, Sandra Brown, also preceded her in death. She is survived by her nieces Rowena Richardson, Nedra Bell and Elena Caines; nephews Herman, Glenn, Carroll and Gary Watkins, Walter Brown and Robert Bell; grandnieces and grandnephews Chris Brown, Kim Blake, Ron and Keith Bell, Sandra, Steven and Michael Watkins, Nikki and Jason Bell and five great-grandnieces and great-grandnephews.

If the baby was a home birth certainly could have gone without being certified. Have you checked all the near-by county records. Have you checked Washoe or Ormsby counties in Nevada. Those trains went directly from Oakland to Washoe county. Another possible explanation could be one of the couple might have been married to someone else so couldn't legally marry. have fun if it doesn't drive you nuts first.
