If the grandparents were still alive, the newly-divorced or widowed fella took the child/children home to mama or a married sister, to help him raise the kids. Don't know if that helps or not. Knowing you, Peggy, pretty sure you checked the surrounding counties for a possible marriage certificate. My own grandparents left their county home, parents' homes, etc., to go to a next-door county and get married because their favorite pastor had moved to a church in the next county and they wanted him to marry them. Took me years to find out where and more to find out why in the world they did that. Sue Damita Drayton Green <[email protected]> wrote: Forgive me if you are already aware of this. In Florida, a "Dissolution of Marriage" certifiate (divorce certificate) contains a blank for the marriage date and location information to be entered. The corresponding divorce *records* may not contain that information, but will contain the details of the divorce. Did you request the divorce certificate? Was this information omitted? If you have not, you may order the Dissolution of Marriage certificate from the state vital records office in Jacksonville for $5. Follow this link for more info - http://www.doh.state.fl.us/planning_eval/vital_statistics/marriage.htm#Back Ancestry.com shows the following for the Bass divorce..... Name: William H Bass Gender: Male Spouse's name: Annie May Bass Divorce Date: 1937 County: Hillsborough Certificate Number: 6997 Nothing found for a Betty divorcing a Herman (or) Lamar Ussery. Shows two Betty Usserys and several Herman Usserys divorces but not to each other.

I have checked out the Fl. index for marriages - entire state- this is why I was wondering if the fellow was in the service -where might the marriage have been recorded- ? same thing for Betty Heathcoe Ussery- one would think that the USSERY side of the line would know- I was told once that he ( Lamar ) was never married to anyone but the woman he is or was currently married to - and then it was said that the whole entire family thought she had known she was sick when she married him and should have been ashamed of herself- she died with cancer- she found she had cancer about the same time she found she was going to have a baby,refused treatment to save the child and they both ended up dead- but I was told they thought she already knew and married the dude anyway- DUH- and then they tried to tell me they did not know of a Betty- Now what did all this sound like to you guys- but yet no one seems to know where they married- PS- everyone is now gone- no one left to ask that will tell me or might know- > If the grandparents were still alive, the newly-divorced or widowed fella > took the child/children home to mama or a married sister, to help him > raise the kids.
