    Family Ada Evelyn Neal,   b. 25 Aug 1912, Arkansas, United States Find all individuals with events at this locationd. 26 Apr 1987, Fort Worth, Tarrant, Texas, United States Find all individuals with events at this location (Age 74 years) 
    Marriage 6 Oct 1928  Muskogee, Muskogee, Oklahoma, United States Find all individuals with events at this location  [22, 23] 
    • This is very strange. In October 1928, Brady & Evelyn get a license and get married in front of a JP in Muskogee. The marriage is recorded.

      Then, in July 1929, they go to Claremore, Rogers County, Oklahoma and get a new license and are married by a Methodist minister.

      There is sufficient gap between even the 2nd marriage and the birth of the first child to make it clear that she was not pregnant with either of their surviving children.

      So, what's up?
    Marriage License 6 Oct 1928  Muskogee, Muskogee, Oklahoma, United States Find all individuals with events at this location  [22, 23] 
    Annulled 9 Oct 1928  Muskogee, Muskogee, Oklahoma, United States Find all individuals with events at this location  [24, 25] 
    • Since Ada Evelyn was only 16, she was not legally competent to get married in 1928. So, when her dad found out, he immediately went to court to have the marriage annulled.
    Marriage License 3 Jul 1929  Claremore, Rogers, Oklahoma, United States Find all individuals with events at this location  [26, 27] 
    Married 3 Jul 1929  Claremore, Rogers, Oklahoma, United States Find all individuals with events at this location  [3, 11, 26]
