Mary Ann Teska parents

[EdCan]

Mary Ann(1932-2008) married Robert Vester 30 Apr 1952 Cuyahoga Co, Ohio. The marriage cert shows her parents as Frank Vester and Emily Doskocil. Frank is correct but I believe her mother is Emily Willet as per 15 Aug 1931 Cuyahoga marriage. Emily and Frank separate and Emily marries Alfred John Widman(1907-1953) 29 Oct 1949.Cook Co, Illinois.
In 1950 Mary Ann and sister Delores are living in Cleveland with their grandmother Anna Doskeel. In 1940 they are with their father Frank (1910) and he is shown as divorced.
Tracing Frank is a problem because I can not reconcile the records. When Frank married Emily his parents were shown as John Teska and Anna Landstein and when Anna died her father  was shown as Lonstein.
In 1930 Cleveland Frank is living with Anna who is shown as a widow. John Teska died 5 Sep 1926 and Anna remarried 15 Jul 1933 to Fred Doskocil. Anna parents shown as Joseph Landstein and Bertha Masek.
In 1920 Cleveland Frank(1912) is with his parents John and Anna and siblings James and Anna.
I can not decide if this family shows up in 1900/10 with a daughter Rose. A Rose Teska died 1913 Cleveland. Also there is a 15 Feb 1897 Cuyahoga marriage for John and Annie but she is not Landstein. I am wondering if there is more than one John and Annie Teska family with similar children ie James and Anna. Last but not least I can not find a death for Frank.

It does sound like Mary might not have known her mother's maiden name and got it confused with her grandmother's maiden name.

So you are looking for a potential divorce record for Frank and Emily before 1940, possibly around 1938-1940 (based off).

 - Frank J Teska divorce 492949 (matches up with Emily Teska) - these are not online, you might have to go

It looks like Frank might have remarried (slightly different mother's name).

Now this guardianship records lists Frank's  along with all the siblings of John and Anna including Rose (marked deceased)
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9Q97-Y39S-4D6?i=305&cc=1837736&cat=2574299
However these (as you go through) seem to suggest that these children were their heirs of an Anna Teska, deceased.

I think there might be one John, but two Annas.

Anna one (Cmunt) - married 1897, died 1911 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X8DP-7F7)
Anna two (Landstein) - married 1912 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X89J-34M )

Hence the confusion and variance on different records - Frank had a birth mother, and the mother who raised him, and both were "Anna".

 - confirmed here by Anna Doskocil's obituary which lists her as beloved stepmother and step-grandmother

Thanks  jorose. I did not realize that there were two Anna's. The probate file gives a date of  birth for Frank as 3 Feb 1912 which I did not have and the divorce files shows a middle initial of J which may help in finding a death.
I saw Anna's bio on Find a Grave and could not figure out why James, Anna and Frank were shown as step children along with the Doskicil children.

Much appreciated

There's an obit in the Cleveland Plain Dealer dated 9 Mar. 1979 for Frank J. Teska, husband of Lillian nee Pubal here - https://cleveland.newsbank.com/search?text=teska&date_from=1979&date_to=1979&content_added=&pub%5B%5D=122AFBBA107AC9E4&sort=new  His siblings were James Teska (deceased) and Anna Wood.

I think his records have him listed as Francis.  Ohio death index - https://www.familysearch.org/search/ark:/61903/1:1:VKTR-CRW

Thanks shellyesq. Excellent. I had a look at findagrave but was looking for a Frank Teska. Might have noticed Francis J if I had used just a Teska search.
Anyway thanks again. Appreciated
