It's very sad that Joyce Dorothy was getting remarried at 21  !
Too young at first marriage maybe hardly any time to have children

I wonder what happened to Lews first wife Mabel hope Dr called of Mexico

Any descendants of Joyce Dorothy and Sam PRICE. Won't be blood related
But if she did have any with Lew NESS. They would be .

The newspaper changed her name to Delia but all records I've found so far are Joyce Dorothy .!

I.ll have to reread the time line too .
Was told he had lots of children in Mexico !

He's quite dashing in his air force uniform .

Correction

Lew s first wife was Mabel Hope Valle's

I didn't spot that auto correct or mistyping had some how changed VALLES to Dr

[brigidmac]

Other correction
I.meant Lew NESS looked dashing in uniform I've not seen pictures of Sam PRICE

Was this not the first marriage in 1945 ?

It was Joyce Dorothy s first marriage

 so her first marriage didn't last long

[brigidmac]

Lew married in Mexico

so it was his second marriage

I have a copy of the notice on my tree 🌲

Will check details after my comedy class

Sorry if I've worded it wrong or mixed something up
Thanks for keeping me on my toes Sandra

Lew NESS first marriage ...he was 22
To Mabel Rosas deValles of Mexico

Can't read the dates it's in words

Mother Bessie spelt Feldman and maybe he's using Feldman surname

I think the convention was to give both parents names in surname so he is Lew NESS FELDMAN
& She is Mabel Rosas deValles Wilson
