MMMmm

I'll have to check my data.
I think I found the third marriage on Ancestry. That'll mean next week.

[Neale1961]

On his death certificate - Jerry Alvin Cox died 1966 has wife named Maureen.

[Ratty2]

On her Social Security Claim
Betty Doris Heiskell in the U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007
the note at the bottom includes all her various names:
Jun 1947: Name Listed As Betty Doris Heiskell; Nov 1954: Name Listed As Betty Doris Cox; Dec 1961: Name Listed As Betty Doris Shedd; Mar 1963: Name Listed As Doris Heiskell Cox; Mar 1963: Name Listed As Betty Dor Shedd; 31 May 1996: Name Listed As Betty D Shedd.

So I must have got the 1957 date from somewhere else and its wrong.

So who was Maureen in 1966?
