bullet  Marriage Notes:

This may not be an accurate date. In the 1940 census Thelma is listed as "wife" but according to documentation she was not legally divorced from Wright until 1955. It is also possible that Thelma and Darwin never legally married although at the time of their death they are refered to as "husband and wife"
