The 1930 Federal census, the California Death Index and his California Marriage license list him as born in Ohio. I have no idea what city/county it might be. The info I have so far: California Death Index states - DOB 4 Oct 1876 in Ohio DOD 3 Mar 1954 in Los Angeles, California California Marriage License - married 3 Mar 1920 to Rose Eleanor Adams but lists his age as 39 yrs. which would make his DOB abt 1881 not 1876. His parents are listed as - Thomas MacDougall b. in Scotland and (unknown) Malone b. in Ireland. The 1930 census is the only one I have been able to locate him in so far. It gives his age then as 49 yrs making his DOB abt 1881 again. Father listed as b. in Scotland and mother in Irish Free State (Ireland). I haven't been successful in finding him (or his parents) in the 1900, 1910 or 1920 census either living in Ohio or California. Obviously, he must have been living in California to get married there in 1920. I don't know if he moved to California as an adult or if the family moved there when he was still a child. I was hoping that someone on the Ohio message board might have some suggestions about where to go from here. Are there any state/local Ohio records available online that I could search?
