Hi everyone,
I have a brick wall that I have not been able to solve. I am looking
for the birthplace (and other family information) of Cecil Charles
CARPER, b. 29 Mar 1901 (maybe), probably in WV. His death certificate
says he
was born in McDowell County, WV and his SS-5 says he was born in Wyoming
County, WV. I have written both of these counties, as well as Mercer
County, WV, but none of the counties have a birth record for him.
I know his mother's name is Catharine HUDSON. His father's name is
Flynn/Flymn/Flem/Flim CARPER. Catharine outlived Flynn and re-married a
man with the last name of PICKELL. Unfortunately, I have no further
information about Cecil's parents. Cecil married Beulah Mae MATHENA in
Mercer County, WV, on 26 Aug 1924, but the marriage certificate gives me
no further clues. Cecil and Beulah moved to Morris County, NJ between
1924 & 1928.
Cecil's siblings are Alberta, George, and Hazel CARPER.
I hope someone out there can help me with this family!
