Marriage Husband @I14@. Wife @I15@. Marriage 16 Jan 1932. Church Of The Transfiguration, New York, NY. Event: Eloped to New York. Note: "Eloped to New York - Married in Little Church Around the Corner" per Grandmother Remembers by Bertell Obert. [8] Child: @I4@.
Note NI14
Wedding date is a bit of a mystery. Bertell was born on Dec. 10, 1932. NY marriage license shows a date of April 16, 1932. Other materials suggest wedding (elopement) was on January 16, 1932. The January date works best with the Bertell birth date. Could the license issue have been late given the elopement?
