Do you have any location for b, m, or d - Country > Province/Region/State > city, town?

Are you looking for 1940 census data - or death records?

This record could be used as a source for her profile, her parent's, her husband, and his parents.  There is a wedding date, ages of bride and groom, some locations.

Enjoy!

I found the 1940 census for Ruth McClain. I know she was born around 1914 in Indiana. On the census there was a copy of the marriage license. Can not find any more information than that. My dad was just a little boy when he moved in with his grandparents William and Mabel McClain. Thank you for your help
