Greatly appreciate if someone can add some further detail to a Harold Kitchen from Waterford, Oakland County, Michigan.

Married and divorced Mildred Pyles 1935-2017 *divorced late 50's, in the sixties then married Helen Smith 1937-2004 All Saints Cemetery Waterford, Oakland County, Michigan.
Also it would be great to know who his parents were please?

Thank you Sandra, great work.
The last two posts you added are the same ones that I have found previously.
Initially I was looking at Facebook Kitchens from Dixon California, which kept on referring to Kitchen Friends in Michigan.

Apart from the Harold Wayne, Gerry/Jerry Lee that you have found there are a further three more living sons and a daughter.
I have been able to make contact with one grand son, but to date he cannot provide details of his grand father Harold Kitchen.
I thought that maybe the marriage details to these two wives of Harold, might provide more clues.

I feel that the following might be his fore bearers, but again to date I have not been able to come up with a link:

Orin Egbert Kitchen 1907-1972 married Dorothy E 1910-, Myrtle Mae McKim 1909-2001
Children:
* Joel Joseph 1934-1958 best chance I think
Donald D 1929-1929
David E 1931-1985 married Ranee/Renee Yvoivne 1943- Fairfield CA, Kennewick, Washington
Children:
Douglas A 1957-1972
David R 1936- Waterford MI

See "Sandra" reply his parents are Ted and Ruby 1940 census and also from his death certificate.

Yes you may well be correct here in the below - thank you.
One potential confirmation is that this Harold had a son named Harold Wayne “Duffy” Kitchen.
I was just hoping that there might be more information on either of his marriage certificates.

Got it, this seals it on Find a Grave comment:
I only met Harold once when I was about 9 or 10. He was the father of my two half brothers, Harold (Duffy) & Jerry (Boe).
Left by Charlotte on 23 Mar 2023
Charlotte is his daughter.
Wow you and Sandra have done it - thank you so much.
