As of the 1930 census, he is in Illinois and married to someone else. I can find nothing on first wife or kids. The wife's parents are still in Clinton. Wife's name was Marie Catherine (Kreim)Fenlon, children were Marian and William Fenlon. Any ideas??? Thanks, Linda Fenlon

If you have Ancestry.com or can use it at your local library, you can do a search on the 1930 census for the first names of these missing people, combined with the year of their birth (giving or taking one year on either side of the birth year), and the state of birth from the 1920 census. There may be a lot of "hits," so you could do that search for specific states where you think they may likely be for that census. Your missing woman and her children may be under the name of a new husband. I had a 2gr-grandmother who was married three times, with children from each marriage. The children were always under the name of the next/current husband in the census and I'm sure there were no formal adoption/name change procedures. I used this procedure to find them in the 1860 census. -----Original Message----- From: iaclinto-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:iaclinto-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of lfenlon@charter.net Sent: October 03, 2006 4:04 PM To: IACLINTO-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [IACLINTO] Missing first wife and children-Fenlon This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Have you looked for the sr. Kreims death records? Obits would probably indicate status of any children. Dick May you live to be a hundred, with an extra year to repent!
