Narrative

Note: The marital history of John Wilbur Frederick

In my initial searches for records pertaining to John, one of the early finds was a marriage record from Parke Cty, Indiana on 5 Oct 1940 to Lorraine Bertha Belle, b. 28 Jan 1916 in Bullard, Smith or Cherokee Cty, Texas to Charles R. Belle and Myrtle Wilson. With John's death coming less than eight years later, when Lorraine would have been in her early thirties, I had searched for further marriage records for her (both as Lorraine Belle and Lorraine Frederick) with the assumption that she might well have remarried.

What I found next was a marriage record from Fountain Cty, Indiana on 7 Aug 1937 for Lorraine B. Frederick (b. 28 Jan 1915 in "Bullard, Texas" to Charles R. Bell and Myrtle Wilson) to Bernard J. Crowley. A visual inspection of the original record gives that she was previously married, and divorced in 1936.

I have not found an earlier marriage record for Lorraine as of yet, but it seems somewhat of a strong coincidence that her first husband was a different man with the surname of Frederick. While I have not found substantiation for this yet, my assumption is currently that she and John were married sometime prior to 1936, divorced, and then the two of them remarried after her marriage to Bernard ended (whether in divorce or his death is unknown at this time). I will note that both John and Lorraine state for their 1940 marriage record that this is a first marriage for each of them.

I have not found a 1940 US Census record that lists John, though his marriage record from late that year gives his residence as Michigan City, LaPorte Cty, Indiana. I do not know if John and Lorraine remained married until his death in July of 1948, nor do I have a death date or burial location for her. I have not found further marriage records for Lorraine, and I have not found any confirmed records that name John as the father with or without Lorraine. Until I can manage a more complete search, I do not know if John had any children.
