Looking for Marriage, Death and Burial Records
« on: Tuesday 12 September 23 09:02 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find the death and burial records for Myrtle Cooper, born 1892 in Louisiana USA.

Myrtle is the daughter of Henry Cooper 1863 and Eleanora Sanders 1870

and

Mishie (Meshick) Cooper, born 1892 in California, USA.

Mishie is the son of Nelson Cooper 1857-1933 and Minnie Wharton 1861-1933.

Myrtle married George Boswell 1891-1962 on 16 July 1911 in Mayfield, Graves, Kentucky, USA

George is the son of Elias Boswell, born 1868 and Missouri Wharton (No Dates Known)

Myrtle separated from George and went on to have a relationship with Mishie (Meshick) Cooper,

I cannot find a marriage/death/burial for Mishie or Myrtle.

Could he have passed away in 1945?  :-\

Thank you so much for your help in this Lisa.

I've never heard of Santa Zay either, I was thinking that it could be Santa Fe or San Jose

Santa Fe sounds more likely.  I will try to find documents in that area.

As far as I am aware the record is for Mishie.

He could have passed away in 1945, but I don't know
