http://www.press-enterprise.com/newsarchive/2001/11/23/1006499902.html The Obit was Published Nov 23, 2001 So she would have been born circa 1940. Found a California divorce record for Dianna M Ludington and James M Ludington dated Jan. 24 1979. There are 2 indexed listings for the marriage - both are the same number so, one should be maiden name, one a previous marriage: James M Ludington Dianna M Lapinski 20 Nov 1970 Los Angeles City James M Ludington Dianna M Mitchell 20 Nov 1970 Los Angeles City They show his birth circa 1943 age 27 at time of marriage. She was 30. Since she also has a son John Miller - I would assume another marriage - PROBABLY previous. (My gr-grandmother married Silas Kinney AFTER she left Elias Ludington, but she is buried as a Ludington) (Possibly because she never actually divorced Elias) OK - here are two marriage records: Dianne M Lapinski abt 1941 Jack G Biggs 16 Feb 1963 Los Angeles Dianne M Lapinski abt 1941 Jack G Mitchell 16 Feb 1963 Los Angeles Once again both registry numbers and state file numbers are the same. Odd. Both are also listed under Miller: Dianne M Miller abt 1941 Jack G Mitchell 16 Feb 1963 Los Angeles Dianne M Miller abt 1941 Jack G Biggs 16 Feb 1963 So, it looks like Lapinski was most likely the maiden name, followed by marriages to ? Miller then Jack G Biggs/Mitchell then James M Lud. Did find 2 possible birth records: Name: John R Miller Birth Date: 2 Nov 1957 Gender: Male Mother's Maiden Name: Lapinski Birth County: Los Angeles Name: Donald R Mitchell Birth Date: 9 Feb 1964 Gender: Male Mother's Maiden Name: Lapinski Birth County: Los Angeles So, there may have been no Lud offspring. I'm not seeing any Luds in the CA birth index with any of Lapinski/Miller/Biggs/Mitchell as a maternal name. The California divorce index begins in 1966, too late for either Miller or Biggs/Mitchell -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Barbara Campbell Sent: Friday, June 10, 2011 10:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LUDDINGTON] DIANNA LUDINGTON, 61 DIANNA LUDINGTON, 61, died Oct. 30 at Chino Valley Medical Center.
