Searching for info on Franklin Layden McNulty, born 27 September 1915 in Missouri. On California death index, his mother's maiden name is Cozad. By coordinating 1920 census index entries for McNulty and Cozad, I isolated a couple of counties where both names are common, and found the following family in Holt County: McNulty, Charles Head (family lives on a farm) Male White 42 Married born MO father born OH mother born MO Emma Wife Female White 33 Married born MO father born IL mother born MI Dale Son Male White 10 Single born MO parents born MO Glen Son Male White 7 Single born MO parents born MO Carroll Son Male White 6 Single born MO parents born MO Franklin Son Male White 4 3/12 Single born MO parents born MO Kent Son Male White 2 2/12 Single born MO parents born MO ------------------------------------ Since Franklin's age is exactly right when calculated from his death certificate and he used the name Carroll as a middle name for his son, it appears that I've found the right family. Does anyone know whether Emma, the wife and mother, was nee Cozad? Franklin had 3 known children, Ila, Cheryl and Dennis, born in Santa Clara County, California, with his wife Anita Ansel, whom he probably married about 1943. They divorced before 1951. Did he have other wives before 1943 or after 1951? Other children? Lila
