Been working on Uncle Ernie's siblings again, just because I guess and have a couple of mysteries.
First the Falk thing; according to her Aunt Grace's obit
Miriam Lynn Conant 1928 -1956Birth: May 10 1928 Eugene, Lane, Oregon, USAResidence 1930: Eugene,Lane, Oregon, USA Marital Status: Single; Relation to Head of House: Daughter,Residence 1940: SantaClara, Lane, Oregon, USA MaritalStatus: Single; Relation to Head of House: Daughter,Death: 18 Nov 1956 Carterton, Oxfordshire, England
married a Falk which the following seems to bear out, but I haven't been able to find who he is as he doesn't turn up in Family search and isn't in Washington Digital archives either. I just realized Miriam is Uncle Ernie's niece and not his sister so I have even less reason to pursue this but I have her in my family file so there it is.
Name MiriamL FalkEvent Type DeathRegistration Quarter Oct-Nov-DecRegistration Year 1956Registration District WitneyCounty OxfordshireEvent Place Witney,Oxfordshire, EnglandAge (available after 1866) 28Birth Year (Estimated) 1928Volume 6BPage 978Line Number 14
Now the Thaxton thing is weirder; My Heritage gave me
Marvin Car Thaxton
Birth: June 10 1919 Palmyra, Macoupin, IllinoisMarriage: Yvonne L. Conant July 3 1940 Vancouver,Clark, Washington
Residence 1940: SantaClara Election Precinct, Lane, OregonDeath: Apr 12 1982 Lane, Oregon, United States
Which would be great and I could just wrap that pair up
Yvonne L. Thaxton (born Conant)Birth: Feb 23 1922 Eugene, Lane, Oregon, United StatesMarriage: July 3 1940 Vancouver, Clark, WashingtonDeath: Aug 21 2014 Eugene, Lane, Oregon, United States
Except when I look in WA digital archives her spouse for that date is Melvin L. ??
Marvin is definitely married to an Yvonne when he passes away as I find in his obit, and a woman starting out with one brother and ending up with the other is not unheard of in my family so maybe some one added three and three and got four.
IF I could get archives.com up and running I might find these answers but have a bad cold and too lazy to figure it out.
Happy New Year everybody.
