    3. Hello Everyone! I am seeking more information on my grandfather's marriages. He was William Roy Ellis, born 18 July 1893 in Sedalia, Pettis, Missouri. His father was William Silas Ellis, b. 7 Oct 1859 in Hopewell, Pettis, Missouri. William Silas Ellis always went by Silas or Si. William Roy (who always went by Roy) first married Effie Greer b. 29 Dec 1888 in Sedalia, Pettis, Missouri. They were married 22 Dec 1911. To them was born one daughter, Lillian Lucille Ellis b. 25 Nov 1913 in Kansas City, Missouri. Roy married second to Alma Cordia Israel sometime before 1921. I haven't located their marriage as yet. They had one daughter, my mother, Evelyn June Ellis b. 11 June 1921 in Kansas City, Jackson, Missouri. Alma (who went by Cordie) died at age 34 on 30 Nov 1927. Cordie, or Cordey, had a son from a previous marriage, Lloyd. I am not sure of Lloyd's surname. I am told that for a number of years W. Roy Ellis lived with a woman named Arthea but it is unknown if they married. At the time of Roy's death in Kansas City, his obituary lists his wife as Vinnie or Vennie? I am seeking more information on Vinnie and her children from a previous marriage to a Mr. Truelove. I believe she had three children with Mr. Truelove previous to her marriage to my grandfather. Any more information on this family would be greatly appreciated. If anyone is interested I have quite a bit on Roy's siblings. Thanks, Peggy Nutt Adrian, Michigan (previously of Kansas City, MO)
