In 1930, there is only one Priscilla of the right age and birth state living in California:

This woman's husband, Keith E. Packman, died in 1938

JOROSE, Thank you for these references they are very interesting and give me another name to consider when looking for the marriage.  I see that on the death record Keith Packman was described as divorced so the marriage didn't last very long according to ages of marriage on the census.

Again many thanks.

Betty

Keith Packman was divorced when he died,according to the image, so Priscilla may have married Thomas Wilson before 1938.

And according to the Packman's 1930 information, Keith and Priscilla had only been married 2 years at the time.

Thank you for confirming my findings on checking these records.  Whose knows how many times she had been married and divorced.  Thomas Wilson died in 1958 and I have no record of whether he was married or divorced then.

Thank you for finding out the maiden surname of Priscilla and also for the obit for Thomas, there was no mention of a wife or family in this obit, although he did have a daughter by his first wife.  The
FS Tree: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LH8L-YYX you gave me for Priscilla also raises a question as it shows she had a daughter Ruth born 1921 although this daughter is not living with her mother  on the 1930 census.

I've not fully read the information provided during the past couple of days.  But, I believe I did see the "other" Priscilla in a family tree (on Anc*try).  She was "married" (?) to someone else during the 1930 census.  I will find the information again.  Apologies for not mentioning her before now.

I believe the Priscilla whom I found a few days ago (and who was possibly married to Mr. Packman) was
1940 Los Angeles Census
"Esdres Marcott" age 50, born Vermont and Pricilla M., age 42, born Vermont

California Death Index
Pricilla Mary Marcotte
Born: 1892, Vermont
Died:  1952, Los Angeles

This lady is in a tree on Anc*try.  They show her as being married first to Keith Packman and then to Esdras L Marcotte.  Perhaps they are mistaken with the Packman marriage?

I've been ill since Thursday (vertigo) and cannot add up all the facts at this time.   :-\ Perhaps there were three Priscilla's with similar backgrounds?

Update:  Two Priscillas, not three.  The Marcotte Pricilla and your Priscilla.
