James R Kiker

[Cockneyrebel]

The above appears to have married Enis Margaret Witherspoon between 1941 and 1948 as she was single in 1941 but living with him at 427 S Grand View St, Los Angeles at 1948, this was she and her mother, Jane Elizabeth Craven lived when Jane was naturalised in 1939 and Enis in 1941.
Enis passed away 10 Jun 1987 at Alameda, California and was b 5 Oct 1908 Ailsa Craig, Ontario. Her mother Jane m James Witherspoon there 14 Aug 1908 but they seemed to have separated as Jane went to the USA and James passed away in Canada.
I can't find any record of James R Kiker's birth, marriage or death but Enis passed away as Kiker?
