Parents are listed based on the marriage index record. More research is needed as Bobbie Ray does not show up in the 1940 census with Thomas; unless his name was mis-transcribed or staying at another residence or staying with his mother.
In light of the above discrepancy, note that Bobby listed his mother as Maggie Church Wyatt in his marriage index record. In the 1930 and 1940 census record for T. F. Church his wife is listed as Ida.
In a census record for Ida, she has a sister named Maggie. This leads to a possible conclusion that T. F. Church may have had a child with Ida's younger sister.
The 1940 census shows Maggie and Ray.
