Sisters of Louise Marie Pray

Well, today proved to be rather disappointing. I realized that if Louise Marie Pray-Chabin got married in Denver, Colorado, her sisters probably did too. We were going up to Salt Lake City anyways today, so we made a quick 5 minute stop at the Family History Library to check the Denver State marriage index.

and I found them!

Beatrice Pray married William A Smith on August 27, 1910

Maude Pray married Marlon Stuart on Nov 4, 1911.

This was super exciting news. Until I tried to find ANY of those four individuals in the 1920 and 1930 census records. That really stinks. I'll probably have to wait until I get copies of their marriage certificate to see if the spellings/dates are correct as indexed. That's really my only hope for finding them at this point... The names are too common, and I don't have any idea how old William or Marlon are.

To add insult to injury, I looked in the Denver city directories and found like 20+  William Smiths and one Marion Stuart (not Marlon). So we'll see how this search goes.
