Sterling marriages
« on: Friday 21 August 09 13:47 BST (UK) »
Hi
Can anyone find marriages for these two?

Helen Constance Sterling/Stirling born 1898 in Australia
Flora Mary Sterling/Stirling born 1887 Australia

The 1910 census has them:
Los Angeles Assembly District 75, Los Angeles, California
Roll  T624_84 Page 1B Enumeration District 85

STERLING Euphemia Widowed 1 of 1 children alive Scotland 1905
STERLING Helen C 11 Daughter Ata 1905
FLORA Mary F 23 Stepdaughter single Ata 1907

Their father James Sterling died at Riverside, California in 1909 and Euphemia remarried. Helen was still unmarried in 1920 census, recorded with her stepfather's name there - Watts.

So:

Flora Mary Sterling married 1910 or later
Helen Constance Sterling (or possibly Watts) married 1920 or later

Most likely Riverside, California area.

Appreciate any help :)

I have a source which says that Helen Constance died in 1975, and Flora Mary in 1944 so I would have thought that one or other of them married?

 - does show a Flora Mary Seckler, father's last name Sterling, born outside the US, in 1887, died in LA in 1943. Mother's maiden name given as Reid.

In 1920 Flora M. Seckler, 32, b. Australia, appears to be in CA with husband Hubert R. Seckler (b. Kansas) and daughter Mavis. (http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html )
