I have just discovered by viewing William Raymond Paul's birth certificate that Jess's middle name was not Raymond. It is listed only with the initial N. It states he was 34 at William's birth on Dec 15, 1957 which would make him born in 1923 in Missouri. William's Mother's name was indeed Norma J Thorpe, listed as being 24, so born in Sept of 1933 in Illinois. I know about the month of birth because she used to celebrate her birthday with us (on same day as my father and an extended family member) when William and I were still married. Does anyone know these folks and can give me some background family info on them?
