  Father	Brady Lee Tennison,   b. 27 Nov 1903, Stigler, Choctaw Land, Indian Territory, United States d. 21 Oct 1974, Fort Worth, Tarrant, Texas, United States (Age 70 years)
  Mother	Ada Evelyn Neal,   b. 25 Aug 1912, Arkansas, United States d. 26 Apr 1987, Fort Worth, Tarrant, Texas, United States (Age 74 years)
  Marriage	6 Oct 1928	Muskogee, Muskogee, Oklahoma, United States   [1, 2]
  	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   [1, 2]
  Annulled	9 Oct 1928	Muskogee, Muskogee, Oklahoma, United States   [3, 4]
  	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   [5, 6]
  Married	3 Jul 1929	Claremore, Rogers, Oklahoma, United States   [5, 7, 8]
