I'm trying to locate the marriage of Edward Wilcox to Georgia ..............?.
Edward Wilcox b.1890 (in Australia as Edwin Willcock), lived in California from about 1913, including the 1920 Census, however, the 1930 Census has him living in Oregon, with wife Georgia b.abt 1903 CA, indicating being married about 1928. Records after that Census have him living back in CA until his death in 1962. His obituary indicates no known surviving relatives, except an Australian brother.
I would like to find his marriage to Georgia, and then find out what ever happened to her, or if there were any children? I presume(?) he was either married in California or Oregon.
I have his NSW Birth Cert, his US Passenger List arrival, his US WWI Draft, some war history, his 1920 and 1930 Censuses, his Social Security Application and Details, his 1962 obituary, and details of his buria. Its just his marriage and family details - if any - that elude me

Have you seen his WW2 Draft Reg card? Quite sad, I think. On the line for "name and address of person who will always know your address" it says none, other than post office. He was working for the Kelsey mine in Placerville, CA at the time.

No, I haven't seen that as I didn't know he was drafted in WWII - that would make him about 50! Is he the same Edward Wilcox b.1890 in Sydney, Australia? If it is, it would be fantastic if you can supply me with the details from that Draft Card, and I may be be able to confirm his identity with other information contained on it.

He wasn't drafted. I think it just means they have to register. PM me your email address and I will send a copy along to you. I am pretty sure same guy.

now i'm not very good at anything out of England and Wales but the bit i highlighted springs to attention in my mind, this would suggest his wife had died before that time

I think either that or they divorced.

Definitely not as common as now, but it happened probably more than we think. I know my grandparents divorced in 1940. And maybe there was never a divorce, just an estrangement.
And listen to me speculate on some poor schlupp's life.

Thanks for all your replies since my last posting on this thread. Il'' try and reply to them all generally.
Firstly, to Kath - thanks for the "attempt" of the copy of the WW2 Draft. An email did arrive from Ancestry indicating I could click onto a link to view it, but said I had a limited time to do so. I did so within 24 hours, but when I clicked onto the link, I was told to supply my credit card details for a free(?) trial before I could view it. I am a bit reluctant to do so. Would it be possible to just transcribe the details of the registration for me if not too difficult? Another "trick" I have used with some success when computer sites won't allow one to print photo's, documents etc, is to photograph the screen closeup with a digital camera without a flash. Yes, probably illegal but sometimes, I do get desperate. Okay, maybe not be the clearest image, but quite readable, and its for personal research only. But that is only a suggestion if you can't do it any other way (hint if you do photograph it, make sure your computer cursor isn't in the photo  )
Toni; yes, divorce of Georgia is quite possible, and hopefully the 1940 Census might help there when it becomes available.
Ohio Susan; Edward is buried in Golden Gate National Cemetery for War Veterans - Georgia is not there. Edward's obituary reads in part ..... "Unless Mr Wilcox's brother, William Wilcox of Sydney, Australia survives him, there are no known survivors". This would indicate his wife had died, and no children, or maybe divorced and she never kept in contact, but who wrote the obituary? He did die in a veteran's hospital.His brother was alive in Australia, and died in the late 1970's. It is thought they corresponded.
A few years ago my mother-in-law (Edward's niece) received an email from a lady in the US indicating she was researching an Edward Wilcox, possibly from Australia. At that time we didn't know of the name change, and replied back in the negative, and contact was not made again (email lost). Its only a possibility, but who knows

Thanks Kath. Probably easier thanmy suggestion of photographing it. Also saves you looking over your shoulder, watching out for the "Cyber Police" (but it does work!)

Thanks Kath for the Draft Registration. I did send you a reply via email. Hope you received it as it appears I am having a little trouble with my server at the moment.
