Marriage
Harry and Hazel Wilson stated in the 1930 census that they had been married 6 years earlier.Hello T. Rex,
I manually added the link to the burial locations of Harry Clyde Wilson's father, mother and to Hazel, on his memorial page.
The 1930 census shows the "age at first marriage" for both Hazel and Harry. The math shows the difference between their actual ages on the census and their ages at their first marriages is 6 years. Harry and Hazel probably did get married in 1924. But, that is only a best guess. Before I add 1924 as their marriage year, I want documentation showing the actual year of the marriage. There might be an obituary, death and or funeral notice for Hazel in the area newspaper, in 1933, in Kilgore, Nebraska. It may provide the date of their marriage. It may also be listed in Hazel's death certificate.
As to Hazel's maiden name: The 2nd marriage of Harry and Hazel's daughter, Ruth E. Wilson, listed her parents as Harry C. Wilson, born in Nebraska, and Hazel Carr, born in Nebraska. Ruth's marriage was in Clark County, Washington, 9 Sept. 1949. Marriage to Charles D. Evensizer, and it was also his 2nd marriage.
[Source: Washington State Archives - Digital Archives.]
The 1930 census shows Hazel's father born in Illinois and mother born in Canada. The 1920 census, for Nenzel, Cherry, Nebraska, shows a Hazel Carr, 17 year old daughter of W. L. Carr, of Illinois, and Effie Carr, of Canada.
I found 3 marriages for an Eugene W. Wilson, whom I believe is probably the son of Harry and Hazel Wilson. The source for those marriages was also the Washington State Archives - Digital Archives. The data available in those records did not list the names of his parents. The first marriage listed, in Clark County, Washington was on 28 Feb. 1949, to Burlie Tucker.
Again, I did not accept your Edit because I can't prove the marriage date for Harry and Hazel.
