When was Mary married to Bamburg and who was he?

Are there any pictures of Mary Lee and JG together?

Where is JG Nall Sr buried?

If you have the answer, please email me.

 


Birth: Jan 13, 1893 in Crandall, Kaufman Co, TX.

Mary Lee is shown to have a second middle name of Arela - Mary Lee Arela Arrick on this Birth Certificate that was created May 31, 1958 in order to apply for social security benefits. Arela appears to be an error.

The certificate is signed by Sallie Breshers as Aunt.

Email from Katherine Short:

In one of the obits, copied below, of Mary Lee Bamberg one of her daughters is Mrs. Leslie Fox.  
That could only be Frances who turned out to be Frances Gertrude Nall.  
I followed the leads and found her birth record, SSDI, and her son in the Texas Birth Records.  
This gave me her husband's full name.

With help from the US Public Records Index I located her son in the same place Frances died.  
His birth record was for Jamy Leslie Fox, but he now went by James L.  
The record in the US Public Index had his full dob which matched the birth record, so I 
was sure I had the same man.  I married him to the woman who was in his residence though 
that may be incorrect.

Below is a descendancy chart for Frances Gertrude (Nall) Fox spouse of Leslie Boyd Fox.

By the way I think Mrs. F. R. Brown is Fred Rufus Brown. They can be found in the Texas 
Death Records at ancestry.com.  Both Francis (Nall) Brown and Fred Rufus Brown died in 
Lubbock County.  Of course, I could be wrong about F. R. being Fred Rufus Brown, 
but it seems to fit.

    Name: Fred Rufus Brown 
    Death Date: 6 Dec 1963 
    Death County: Lubbock  
    Certificate: 78997

    Name: Florence Ada Brown 
    Death Date: 8 Mar 1999 
    Death County: Lubbock 

    SSDI 
    Name: Florence Brown 
    Last Residence: Wilson, Lynn, Texas, 79381 
    Born: 2 Feb 1927 
    Died: 8 Mar 1999 
    State (Year) SSN issued: Texas (1966)



I believe this is what happened to Frances.
