I did some checking on Eleanor Pickering for you. I found a telephone listing for her son in Tracy, CA, then I backtracked and I found a birth listing for that same son in CA. Eleanor's maiden name was listed as Kersey. So, I then found her on the 1920 and 1930 censuses in Jackson, Missouri (Kansas City) with her parents Rudolph Kersey and mother Pearl Kersey. In 1930 she was living in Jackson, Mo. with her mother and they both resided with her sister Lucy and husband Charles Birgam or Birgan. On both censuses Eleanor was listed as having been born in Arkansas. Missouri marriage records listed an Eleanor Pearl Kersey (born abt. 1912)who married James Curtis Coleman on Sept. 10, 1938. Charles Birgan signed the marriage certificate as a witness. Apparently this was a first marriage. I think the Eleanor you're looking for was named Kersey but I can't find the first name of her Pickering husband. Hope this helps you.
