Once again, apologies for length of post.
John Cortland Dyer b 13 Jan 1894 New York, son of John Dyer and Kate Maude Davey, married Millie Meisel born c1897/1898 in Bohemia on 19 March 1928 in Brooklyn. He died 1 Jan 1966.
Both had been married previously: John married Henrietta Reynolds.
They had at least one child together, a son David Dyer 1914-1915.
Did they divorce or did Henrietta die? I can't find her after 1915.
In 1920 John C is with his widowed mother Kate and two of his brothers - all three are recorded as married but no sign of their wives! Line 36 onwards here:
Millie Meisel married Joseph Palus (variant spellings) in 1917. He died 1926.
John and Millie and family are here in 1940 https://familysearch.org/das/v2/3:1:..._undefined.jpg
A descendant of the daughter who has been in touch with me says all are now dead except the only daughter. Apparently John C and Millie never really talked about their early lives or family. She also told me that there was a daughter from John Cortland Dyer's first marriage who died as a baby but I haven't found any evidence of this.
The eldest son recorded in 1940 as Joseph Dyer is actually Joseph Palus, Millie's son by her first marriage.
Can anyone find the family in 1930 or any further information about the children's BMDs?
I'm also looking for when Millie arrived in the US, (about 1914 according to the 1920 US census)
Millie and Joseph Polish (sic) plus son Joseph in 1920: https://familysearch.org/das/v2/3:1:..._undefined.jpg
I'd also like to know Millie's parents' names if possible and also to confirm when she died - I'm told this was when her daughter was about 17 which would make it around 1955.
Plenty to get to grips with!
Thanks,
Christine
