I didn't find a marriage, unfortunately.  I don't think the freely available databases for California marriages from that time frame are comprehensive.

Perhaps I should ask how you found her married name. I could not determine that and so couldn't get any further than 1920. Sorry I am so thickheaded.

I searched the 1930 census for a Bessie (leaving the surname blank) born around the right time in California with parents born in Scotland.  I did my original search elsewhere, but I think the same thing would work on Family Search if you searched only the 1930 census records.

Thank you once again. I will try that method to break down a few other walls. Nan
