OK. He and Ella had a daughter Betty 1 5/12. They are all born in MO. I have HeritageQuest and 1930 is not searchable yet. If you have access to Ancestry you might find the same wife or a different one. A reasonable 5 year period might be 1913 - 1918 or 1914 - 1919 You can possibly get OK marriages checked here. Margaret Parker is very good to help. http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.oklahoma.counties.ottawa/mb.ashx To check for Jasper Co. MO marriage records and possibly divorce records try: Jasper County Records & Research Center 125 N. Lincoln Carthage, MO 64836 (417)359 1100 They have indices, if they find them, you'll then have the information to request copies of the records from the Jasper County Courthouse. You could go directly to the Courthouse, but being able to tell them exactly what records you want Book and Page seems to speed up the process. It's also cheaper to just get xerox copies instead of stamped and certified, unless you think you might need the legal proof sometime.
