CA Marriage Index: Quite a few Mary Wrights married in CA that might have been the correct age. Those that have aka and another name means that this is probably the second marriage but you can't tell if WRIGHT is the maiden name from the listing; marriage records are searcheable at the county level by volunteers or can be ordered from the state at $12.00 each. None of them showed up in Alameda county but maybe 1949-1959 CAMI would give you some more names Mary G. Wright, 39 aka Mary G. Hamilton Robert Laub, 42 Sacramento (sorry, didn't write the date down) #14732 Mary L. Wright, 47 William F. Lanier, 51 November 28, 1971 Los Angeles, 141526 Mary L. Wright, 54 aka Mary Shea Frank Santelli, 56 Los Angeles, March 3, 1978, 19863 Mary H. Wright, 55 aka Mary Dorr Gordon Gordon, 65 Los Angeles, March 16, 1980 29399 Mary S. Wright, 52 Robert V. Sigl, 51 Riverside, Feb. 14, 1976, 15201 Mary Wright, 38 James March 28 Los Angeles, Aug. 4, 1963, 71631 Mary A. Wright, 41 Fred E. Haynes, 40 March 20, 1964, Imperial, 19140 I've cc'd a few researchers - one does CAMI lookups 1949-59 and the other two do recorder office lookups in Sacramento and Riverside. Maybe by a process of elimination you can find a marriage record on Mary. Hope the DMV contact works also. Colleen PS: The location of marraige listed above is the COUNTY. To determine the CITY of death you will need to order the marriagecertificate. The number following the date of each listing is the state reference number for ordering the certificate from the state.
