It is not uncommon to find someone listed with one name on a census and then using their middle name on the next census. I know you said that her name was Adeline Lovey but from the ages and the fact that Manorira?? is listed as Manorira A, I would say that is Adeline. The Anderson girl is listed as a Step Daughter to Carl. From the age difference between Melvina and the oldest children I would say Carl was married before Melvina and seems Melvina was married before Carl as well seeing as Carl has a step daughter. http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/#search That is a great site for finding MO death certificates. It has an index of deaths from 1910-1955 with up to 1924 being available for viewing online. You can order the other ones for $1. I found James M Ladyman, being as he died in 1930 it is not available for viewing online. I wasn't able to find one for Adeline. I also searched for Melvina and Carl Tucker and didn't see anything. I did find one for Calvin G Tucker, but it too has to be ordered. That website also has alot of other good, useful information.
