I've hit numerous brick walls with this family, but recently learned they lived at times in Wichita Falls, I'm not sure when they first lived there, possibly 1920-1947. I spent a long time at Ancestry.com yesterday trying to find them in census records for TX and OK.
Edward is said to have been an Irish immigrant, married Retta, a Chickasaw Indian in OK, they had John Henry Harris in early 1914, and Retta died in Tishomingo, OK about six months later. He later married Dorrie/Dorry/Dollie and had the last three children. Edward died before Dorrie. I'm told he was a drunk and spent a lot of time in jail.
All of this information was gleaned from interviews with the older children of John Henry Harris (my late FIL, who I never met) I can't even find a birth certificate for John!!
I'm wondering if Edward was his middle name, with John or Henry being a first name. I can't find them on census records for 1920 or 1930 in OK or TX.
I'm hoping with this query to at least find death information for Edward. I just wrote to Beverly Wyatt to ask her to check the County Cemetery.
Thanks for any help any of you might be able to offer.
