According to the census data there were two William J Diedrichs that were born in Michigan, one in Saginaw County, the other in Jackson County. The William in Jackson County showed to be married in the 1930 census to Cora Diedrich, and that that was his first marriage. The Marriage License for my grandparents shows that William J Diedrich of Los Angeles, Calif age 24 marrying Lucile Tritle of Salina, Kansas age 24 on Dec 11, 1924 by Probate Judge O H Ford. My mother's birth certificate shows Edith Ann Diedrich being born October 15, 1925. Father: William John Diedrich, Mother: Lucile Tritle, Address: 302 South Phillips Street, Father's Birthplace: Michigan, Mother's Birthplace: Kansas, Father's Occupation: Engineer, and Mother's Occupation: Housewife. My grandmother marries again in Salina, Kansas in 1927. William J Diedrich was never shared with me by my grandmother, nor what happened to him (an accident, disease, or divorce). I what appreciate any help or advice in finding my missing grandfather, and that part of my family!! Gary Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
