Alice Viola Craven b 22 Aug 1907 Michigan

[RJ137]

Is there any further information on Alice's sister Irene who became Uridge as I know nothing of her other than her name and approx birth 1916?

Irene was married numerous times. She lived mostly in Miami, Florida area

Irene 1st married Owen F Uridge. They may have remarried at some point or she went back to that married name. Hard to keep track with all the marriages she had.

Paul S. Walker was introduced to Mrs. Rene Uridge at a party. Last night they were married by Judge J. Fritz Gordon in the Gordon Country Club Prado home. "We met at Glni and George Salley's home," said pretty blonde Rene, widow of radio executive Owen Uridge, "Sherry Beck introduced us. He proposed the next day." Rene had been planning a trip to San Diego, Calif.' to visit her, daughter W*** (Mrs. T*** H.) LeJeune. "I called it off." she said. Before the 6:30 p.m. ceremony, Rene was making reservations for dinner at La Gorce Country Club. Her bridegroom-to-be was out-of-town attending a meeting of the Florida State Retailers Association of which he is president. He flew in just before the ceremony. "I hope the plane is on time," said Rene, as she took care of last-minute details alone. She invited close friends to the wedding and dinner-dance, including the Salleys, Col. and Mrs. Jess Beck, Judge and Mrs. Gordon,....etc

Added I think RJ has now found the first marriage and has corrected his post.  Hope that all this information fills many gaps John.  All the best.

[*Sandra*]

Indeed that is not the case RJ - at 20-27 you posted, then edited your post to read second marriage was to Owen F Uridge which was still incorrect.
My original message with details of that first and second marriage was posted at 20.08 - the only details I added were divorce dates.

I'll bow out of this one now.

Thank you very much Sandra and RJ, what a tangled web Irene weaved, seems like Zsa Zsa Gabor!
I've found out a few more facts about her spouses' bmds which I'll be adding to my tree which has grown like Topsy, as you said Sandra and is now nearly 21000 but annoyingly can find nothing for my paternal ancestry beyond the late 1700's!
I don't understand where Vicky Green appears from, who was her father I wonder? Presumably it was Mercer unless a late child for Uridge marriage?

Another missing father-who was Allison Casoria the daughter of?
