Looking for Frances A (Anderson) Johnston

[seekandyeshallfind]

I am looking to find Frances A (E) Anderson daughter of William A Anderson and Alfreda (Elfreda) Anderson of Seattle, King Co. Washington. She was born in 1920 in Oak Lake, King, Washington. She married Edward Johnston in 1935. Edward's middle name may have been Hite. She is listed in the 1940 census as Phllyis but we know that it was actually Frances. She and her husband Edward were living with her parents and the surname was Johnson but it should have read "Johnston". His parents were Hite and Gladys Johnston. Any help would be appreciated.

Just a link so people can see what was discussed previously:  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=535533.0

Without more recent information or exact dates of birth, it may be difficult to pin down Frances & Edward in the later years, especially considering their common names.  Maybe looking into what happened to their relatives would give some hints, such as a mention in an obituary?  It looks like Hite died in 1967 - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JTWK-732

I see Edward & Frances in Seattle city directories up to 1951, but I don't see a definite match for either of them in the 1953 city directory.  Hite & Gladys and William & Freda are in all the Seattle city directories up to 1960, which is the latest one I could find.

The Washington State Library has a free obituary look-up service.  http://www.sos.wa.gov/library/obituaries.aspx

It might be worth asking them to see if there is an obituary for Hite or any other parents or siblings of Frances & Edward that you have deaths for.

Thank you, I will try that. Frances was an only child but Edward had quite a few siblings. This has been a difficult search andI thank you for your suggestions.

Have you checked the Washington State Digital Archives? They have marriage, land, death, and other records, including images of the original records in many cases.

The Social Security death index entry that I linked to above has the same birth date that you mention and last residence of Seattle, Washington, but a death date of Mar. 1967.  The Washington death index also has a Hite Johnston who died 24 Mar. 1967 in Seattle.  I don't see any other likely Hites with the same birth date and different death date.
