Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/FMB.2ACE/1445 Message Board Post: I am trying to connect Charles E Williams, born in Wayne Co Iowa about 1879/80 to Stella M Roberts. I located Charles Williams on the 1910 Census, Jackson Co married to Stella M, age 36. They had been married 1 year and had a dau, Opal, born July 1909. This much I have verified. The census indicated Stella had given birth to 'three children' and 'three' were living, however only Opal was living with them. By this I have assumed Stella was married before and was either divorced or widowed. By obtaining a copy of Stella's daughter Opal's application for Social Security, I found that she said her mother's maiden name was 'Roberts'. I would like to know if this Stella Roberts has any connection to the Roberts family in Pettis county Mo. I understand, but has not been verified, that Stella Roberts Williams died when Opal was very young and did not remember her mother. Does anyone know anything at all about this family? Does anyone know who Stella married the first time and the names of her first two children. I would be grateful for any help!! Thanks, Linda Williams
