Charles Henry Joyce is the one that was married to my husband's mother. H
had three siblings, Eve M, Estell, and William L. Their parents were John
Logan Joyce and May Jane Thomas. John's parents were Harrison Joyce and
Emmelene Welch. Harrison's parents were Richard Joyce and Lydia Myers. Finally
Richard's parents were George Joyce and Delilah (unknown). (
I am pretty sure I figured that out from the census, once I nailed down
Charles Henry Joyce. The information I had on him was slime. I only knew his
name. Then I discovered that my husband's mother and he in a census in Dayton,
Ohio. I also had some WWI military pension records surface that indicate
where she had married him, and later divorced him (married in Louisville and
divorced in Dayton). I sent for the divorce papers. It was also stated that
he had died before she had remarried. So from that I found his death records.
It looks like he was probably in a mental hospital. I suspect drinking, but
don't know for sure.
Charles Henry Joyce was born 25 Aug 1890 (all siblings born between 1884 and
1895), Married my husband's mother 21 April 1919 in Louisville, divorced her
in Dayton, Ohio Oct 1923 (darn I forgot to record the day), and then died 6
Feb 1937 Lakeland, Jefferson, Kentucky.
If this is related, I would love to have a copy of their marriage record, if
you are in Louisville.
