Sharon:
Have you considered that Charley might NOT have married
Violia? Today's teenagers did not invent shacking up! Why
do you assume they married? If He and Violia appear in the
1930 census with different last names, I would assume they
were not married.
You may want to check the marriage records for that era. I
believe Indiana has a statewide register now. Good luck in
your search.

Hello to All,
I am new to this list and I am looking for my Great
Grandfather who was
listed on the 1930 census along with Violia Colvin whom
he must have married
sometime after 1922. He was living in Greensburg and
working as a clerk in a Soft
Drink Shop. He was 54 and she was 66. I have been
searching for Charley for
over 30 years and he has been quite a character to find.
He was married to my
Great Grandmother and they had 4 children. In 1922 she
filed for divorce and
the family totally lost track of him. According to the
1930 census he was
living at 124 1/2 Broadway Street. Would love to find
out when he married this
Violia and when he died and is buried. If there were any
children by this
marriage and any other pertinent information about him.
I understand by a letter
that was written in 1940 that he may have been in some
kind of finical trouble
but cannot substantiate that.
My Grandmother before she died wanted so much to find her
daddy because she
had not seen him since she was 12 years old before her
mother placed her in an
orphanage in Ft. Wayne, IN.
Charley was born in August of 1876 in Whitley Co., IN to
Henry Colvin and
Hannah Ellsworth.
Any help in finding any information on Charley would be
most appreciated.
