Post by: Ned on Saturday 25 January 20 12:58 GMT (UK)
Obit for David F Bullen shows his parents as Alfred and Helen (Jelich) Bullen,
I am seeking birth and marriage details for Alfred & Helen, was he an immigrant from the UK ?.
also if possible did David F Bullen marry ?, he was born in Wakefield and died in Ironwood.
Many thanks,
Ned

David's father Alfred was born in Michigan and the son of Elisha Bullen.  But,  Alfred's father Elisha was born in England.

The family in 1930

Elisha died in 1948.

You're very welcome.  Didn't find anything for a marriage of David F Bullen. Did come across a small piece that says David F Bullen (registrant not qualified) for draft in Gogebic County.
