Looking for Information on Wilford Caudill or her parents-whom I do not know.
She married a James Thomas Carroll-listed on his death certificate as Wilford or Wilfurd,
I cannot locate her death cert. A 1920 census lists her as Willifred Carroll age 35-so
she was born around 1885. On birth certificates for two of the children listed in this
census (Ed and Gladys) she is listed as Niefried. In my great-grandmothers family bible
she is listed simply as "Willie"-nothing else. Assuming they married before
their first child was born (Joseph-approx 1905) I would guess they married between 1900
and 1904? but I have no clue where. James death certificate lists him as being born in
Kentucky, both parents unknown. One of their children's obituary's (Nelson Ore
Carroll 1918-1959) says he was from McVeigh, Kentucky-which is very near to west virginia.
I'm unsure if Wilford was born in kentucky or possibly across the river in west
virginia or elsewhere? I only know that James Thomas was supposedly born in KY and died in
KY, so I assume they met and married in !
the state. Any help on locating Wilford greatly appreciated!
