I am looking for information on the children of Encil O and Nellie A Lay who lived in Laird, Co in 1910. According to this Census, the children Alma and Edna were born in Iowa. There may have been a 3rd daughter, Thelma, born in Colorado after the census was taken. Encil continues to be listed in the census of 1920 and 1930, but not with his family. They may have been living in Laird with James L and Mary Jane Lay at the time. I have read that Encil and Nellie divorced, but cannot find record of this anywhere. Any info on these 3 daughters and would be very helpful

FYI,
Just looked up the marriage index, 1859-1939.
There were no Alma Lay, Edna Lay or Thelma Lay's married in Colorado, that matched. There was 1 Thelma, but she was born in Kansas, mother in Nebraska.
No record of any Encil or Nellie remarrying either.
Makes me believe that the family moved out of state.
Good Hunting,

Thank You. I've learned that in 1917 the family sold their farm in Laird and moved to Phillips Co KS. Alma Lay married Dale Townsend of Harlan Kansas. I still have no informaton on Thelma Lay. Another sibling, Edna Lay, married Earl Glaum of Phillips Co KS.

Can you pls give me the info on the Thelms that you found? Mine wold have been born around 1913.

This Thelma married Hugh Clark in 1929. I believe you can search the 1930 Federal census and find them still in Colorado, Jefferson County.
Good Hunting,
Frank
