Hello
Ida Thomas married Enoch Smith(1906 1984) a divorcee about 1940 in Bowling Green, Ohio.
Did they have any children?He had 3 boys with his first wife Dorothy, Raymond,Robert and Roger.
Ida was a first time bride aged 38. She is on his death cert, but I couldn't find an obituary.
Enoch was my great uncle that left England to go to USA.
Would appreciate the help.
Many thanks

U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007 does list a child for Enoch Smith and Ida Thomas - but the parents were probably Enoch and Dorothy -

Rogers mom was Dorothy corbin, as was Robert Frank Smith, which leaves one son Raymond that I can't find a birth record for. Thank you. Thank you missed the divorce record, says 3 kids there. So can't be any for ida. Not easy reading for sure. Wonder how Dorothy got on raising 3 kids alone, can't have been easy for her.

The birth index shows the missing one you are looking for and hopefully he is still living. Will send the date by pm just in case.
