Hi again, Richard!
I just happened to notice in your father's record a 1930 Census (see below) that I had notated back in 2008 where it lists a wife of your father's as Mary.
Now I'm confused again. Did the enumerator incorrectly write 'Mary' instead of Norma?
Or, is Mary part of your mother's birth name or is Mary a different person?
Isn't your mother's actual birth name, 'Norma Delone Harris'?
Dave,

subject: Re: Cecil John Drollinger married to Mary
That's a good question....I don't know what happened either. It would seem to me the enumerator made a mistake. This is what I was talking about in my previous e-mail. I can't even find a census record for him in the 1920's either. I can find my mother with her parents, but I haven't been able to locate a 1920 census record for my dad. The entry you cite in your e-mail is erroneous, because my dad was 18 years old when he and my mother were married and my mother was 17 years old. Mary was the name of my dad's mother. I don't know what happened. Also, in 1930 my parent already had four living children and two deceased children which the record doesn't show.
Additionally, I have a source showing their marriage as November 24, 1920, at Rigby, Jefferson, Idaho, United States with Wilford Thomas Harris and Christina Janet Harris (my mother's parents since she was under marriageable age) as witnesses and giving parental permission for the marriage. [end]
