Hi everyone
I would really appreciate some help tracking down a marriage record. Here is some background as to why.
A friends mother is in a nursing home. Her second husband was military and he is now deceased, but the VA have been dragging their feet with paying for her care as he was married before in the 1940's and they want proof of his previous marriage, even though his first wife was deceased in 1976. We have been looking for months, she had even hired a lawyer to assist her but they took her $$ and did nothing.
The marriage I am looking for is the following:-
Garland Finley b 30 June 1910 Hopkins Co, Kentucky and Emma Jean Cox b 14 January 1909 Guilford Co, N Carolina. In 1941 he entered the army and stated he was single. The earliest record I can find these two together is a street directory for 1948 in Owensboro, KY.
I think I have found a 1940 census return for Emma Jean Cox in Lowell, Gaston, North Carolina. I am not sure where exactly they both met or where they were married, but every search is coming up blank.
Any assistance anyone can provide is appreciated.
