Hello out there!
My Grandmother IVA DOUGHERTY WELLS had 2 Hubbys.
The 1st was a Fred Elverd.
I know this from the birth certificate of their only child which I got my grubby little hands on just yesterday. :-)
What is on this document is pretty much all I know about ol' Fred:
The year is 1915. 4 years before my Granny married my Grandpa.
Fred was 31 years old.
He was a Laborer. He was born in Cannelton, Indiana, & his residence at this time is also listed as there.
My Grandmother to be was 18 yrs. old & is listed under her maiden name as IVY Dougherty.
She was living at 1305 Water Street, Owensboro, Ky.
Their only child was named VIRGINIA LEE & was born at 6:40 am on April 3, 1915 in the house on Water Street.
She had no children by her eventual husband Harley Belcher, though they did adopt.
So when she died Fred's line ended unless he remarried & had other children.
I know nothing more about Fred or his relatives & ancestors, & hope someone will pass through here who does.
