Death Records Now

Born sidney marshall. In geogia maybe stewart county and worth county around 1860 to 70 I believe one of her children was my great grandmother. Was married to george jackson. I also need information on him also and they’re death records including cause of death and date of death. I also need what race they were. I need information on my great grandmother illinois also including cause of death and date of death. Someone help me I’m starting a genealogy project.

There’s this one, it says son, but if you look at the original the M for male is a lot darker than the other writing on the page as though it has been written over something.

My mother-in-law misinformed the funeral home by stating on my husband’s death certificate that we was divorced. We are not on the best of terms and she refuses to go to the funeral home and sign a request to amend the death certificate. She is doing this out of spite because my husband and I were separated (he was a violent and abusive alcoholic). and he was living with her at the time of his death. I am sorry, but my son’s safety was my #1 priority. It was not a healthy environment for either my son or myself.

I was just contacted by the Motion Picture Industry Pension and Insurance Dept. that they are holding money that I am entitled to claim as his surviving spouse. Unfortunately, I need to get the death certificate amended to reflect that we were married at the time of his death. The Office of Vital Records suggested that I contact the court and request a certified copy of a court order establishing our marital status at the time of my husband’s death. It also said that I may want to contact an attorney. Unfortunately, I am a disabled widow on SSI and can’t afford to pay an attorney for advice. I’m sure that once I know where to go and what to do that I can fill out and file the necessary documents.

Please help me with as much information as possible to enable me to complete this task without the need for a lawyer. I live in Porterville, California and need to know which court to contact to accomplish this task.

Thanking you in advance for your most valuable time and assistance.

I found this marriage record on the LDS "Pilot". I spent 2 hours hunting Thomas, but he eluded me. Can anyone find him on a census, death or other record? I have Margaret in 1880 and 1900. I can’t find her in 1910, 1920 or 1930. Corrections and additions to the record in [square brackets]

Groom’s Name: Thos. Ledbetter
Groom’s Birth Date: 1881, Illinois
Bride’s Name: Maggie [Margaret Rachel] Longwell Brown
Bride’s Birth Date: 1886, [3 Sep 1876] Iowa

Marriage Date: 05 Oct 1907
Marriage Place: Avoca, Iowa
Groom’s Father’s Name: Joseph Ledbetter
Groom’s Mother’s Name: Martha Horn
Bride’s Father’s Name: Amos Brown [Amos Longwell]
Bride’s Mother’s Name: Katherine Gillann [Elizabeth Catherine Gillam]
Groom’s Marital Status: Single
Groom’s Previous Wife’s Name:
Bride’s Marital Status: Widowed
Bride’s Previous Husband’s Name: [Lawrence William Brown]

Some web sites say Margaret married
1) Lawrence William Brown b: April 26, 1874,
2) John Dersham,
3) —- Riddle

She dies in Orange County, California 14 Feb 1973, with the surname Riddle. I have her death index entry. I looked for her as Ledbetter, Dersham and Riddle in 1910 on; no luck,

In 1900 she is in Nebraska with her first husband, mis-indexed as "Torence" Brown, and their son, Myron Brown, b, 1899.

If you strike out, I could also use the Pack family crest, proof that my grandfather was 1/5th Cherokee, and a detailed breakdown of my ethnicity based on my picture. The eagle’s, ethnicity, too . . .

Thanks to you all.
====================

Tina – if they deserted or divorced, they would not be the first to lie about it. That looks like Lawrence, all right; he was in Wayne County in 1900. I should have checked. Thanks! Margaret is still a mystery.

The fact Lawrence has the child suggests that Margaert did the deserting.

Ted,
I was unable to locate Thomas Ledbetter also but something seems a bit off, in that, on the marriage record for Thomas and Maggie, it states the bride’s marital status as widowed. Now, I did locate what I thought was Lawrence Brown and his son Myron Brown in the 1920 census and Lawrence also shows his marital status as a widower. You may already be aware of this but, if not, you might want to check those records.
