US Completed Requests / Re: Question about Missouri death certificates
« on: Thursday 22 June 17 16:33 BST (UK) »
I emailed my question to the Missouri State Archives. The reply I received was:
"The number 2 next to her marital status just means that she is widowed, without respect to how many times she was married. The code may have changed over the years, but at least in 1944 in St. Louis City, a 0 next to the marital status was single, a 1 was married, 2 was widowed and 3 was divorced."

US Completed Requests / Question about Missouri death certificates
« on: Tuesday 20 June 17 08:59 BST (UK) »
I am wondering what, exactly, the number 2 means in item #6 (marital status) on this death certificate. Does it indicate that Caroline was married twice?
Many thanks for any help.

Hi Lisa,
You have the correct couple on the 1930 census:
1930 St. Louis Census
Elmer Smith, age 30
Carrie Smith, age 38, born in Missouri, parents born in Germany
(Carrie was quite a bit older than Elmer, so her real age in 1930 was more like 49.)
Carrie Marks was born 19 Oct 1881 in Nevada, Vernon, MO. Her father (my great-grandfather) was Johann Adam Marx. (The spelling of the surname eventually became "Marks".) Carrie's mother was Christine ("Tena") Krueger, Johann Adam's second wife.
I appreciate so much your effort to help. Thank you.

Thanks very much for the link, Shelly.
I don't see Elmer in the male index for 1928, so will just have to keep looking.
Thanks again.

United States of America / Brick wall: St. Louis marriage ca 1928
« on: Monday 03 April 17 17:50 BST (UK) »
I am looking for the marriage record of Elmer Lee Smith (1900-1942) and Carrie Marks (1881-1944). They had no children. On the 1930 Missouri census they are in St. Louis, where I am assuming they were married. They were divorced before the 1940 census, where Elmer's wife's name is May. Elmer may have been Carrie's second husband. I have both Carrie's and Elmer's death certificates, but cannot find a record of their marriage. 
Any help would be very much appreciated.

I tried to attach a copy of their marriage certificate, but apparently the file size is too large. You can find the certificate at https://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/record
