Mother says my father gave wrong address for marriage license shes not sure why but he told her they had to have a Jackson address, probably because he worked for city of Jackson.
His death certificate has the wrong middle name for his mother.
On 1930 census his parents are listed as having daughter (Myrtle A) but believe it is mistake name similar could have misunderstood Murrel which he went by instead of first name (Albert)? he was not listed at all and he would have been around 9yrs by then , no brothers and sisters that I heard of, and only Albert J and Bertha Currie know parents right and were he grew up
