How old were they in the 1930 census, if you can find them in the 1930 census, it will list age at first marriage (for both). That would at least give you the year.

Kent, This is truly an odd situation. Laura's mother died in 1929 and in her obituary she named Laura SCHRADER. However, in the 1930 census Laura is living with her stepfather, and her stepsister. I have found her husband? John married to an Anna Schrader (Romag) in the 1920 and 1930 census. Here's another odd bit; Laura Schrader is interred at Sunset Memorial Park and next to her is John Schrader. John's supposed wife, Anna, is also interred at Sunset Memorial Park, but in a different section and John Schrader owned that grave! John died in May 1942 - obituary states widower of Anna - his daughter, Doris signed his death certificate. Laura's obituary in 1972 states widow of the late John Schrader. In the April 1930 census, Laura was listed as the wife of George Remshardt, but again, this is an error as he was her stepfather, and it also says that she was married at the age of 25 which would have been approximately 1924; Laura was born October 1898. Again, thanks for your help - hope this wasn't too long an explanation of this mystery.
