Hi Ruth! I don't think my paternal grandfather, Benjamin Franklin Zimmerman would have
been your great aunt's first husband. He would have been, I would say, between 20 to
30 years old when he married by grandmother, Myrtle Marie Miller, which would mean he was
born between 1880 and 1890.However, he might of married her when he was around 40. Which
means he might have been born around 1870 and would have been 5 years younger than your
great aunt.Do you have any papers of your great aunt that such as a marriage license or
divorce paper that might have had his date of birth on it? He died between 1947 and 1949.
There is the possiblity too, he might have been named after an uncle or cousin on his
father's side of the family and that is why it's the same name. This is a little
confusing, but I hope it helps you out. E-mail me at cinbrown(a)q.com thanks! Cindy
