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.

Lisa, hope you feel better soon.

There seems to be quite a bit of confusion, from the information I have received there was A Priscilla
Courtemache who married a Keith Packman and a Priscilla Desautels who married an Esdras Marcotte, as I have been given a death for Priscilla Marcotte I am favouring Priscilla Courtemache.
There is tree on Ancestry for her showing 4 marriages including a Thomas Wilson but his information is incorrect, no source shown.
Unless there is some way of checking an index of marriages for California I may have to wait until more information comes online.

Many thanks appreciate all your help.

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.

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

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.

This is thee familysearch.org guide to finding marriage records in California. I haven't tried it.
