Think Beulah had been married previously as children were listed as step in 1930.
I know Harry was listed as divorced in 1910.

Wonder if 1920 census sheds any light?

That's great MarieCeleste , I didn't have that info.
Thankyou so much, I now know the name of her first husband, they must have divorced, Margaret and William were stepchildren to Harry. I think they took the name Ward later. Harry Ward was listed as divorced in 1910, don't know who his first wife was and do not think he had any children of his own.

Thanks again.

MarieCeleste Report 5 Sep 2012 17:21

Creeky - there were several Harry Wards on the 1910 who were single, born Indiana and in lodgings. Where was the divorced one and how do you know he's yours?

Creeky Report 6 Sep 2012 07:38

Sorry for delay MarieCeleste, only just back on board.

Harry was living with his parents again in1910, details I know to be correct.
So he must have married and divorced between 1900 and 1910
