Updates on Beatrice Mary Pray-Smith

So, after I posted the last post, I continued to do research. Honestly, it bugs me to pieces when I can't find stuff I should be able to find.
So I decided to take a different approach. I was going to find out of the Beatrice Marie Pray from the California Death Index source posted previously was in fact THE Beatrice Mary Pray I was looking for.
So I started to look for her obituary. I knew she was living in Los Angeles. I decided to look in the Long Beach Independent, because that is the same newspaper that I found Louise Marie Pray's obituary. That would mean they were living close around the same time.

And sure enough, I found it:

It still wasn't conclusive, whether this was the same person I was looking for.

So I decided to keep looking.

Since I wasn't having much luck finding either the husband or wife, I decided to look for the son. This led me to find them rather quickly.

Family starts on Line 39

And I looked, and did some math to see if this was the family I was looking for:

William A Smith: age 52 born about 1878, married at age 32, about 1910

Beatrice: Age 42 born about 1888 (why had this record not shown up before?????), married at age 25, about 1913.

Albert Smith: born about 1915.

Since this family has a tendancy to have incorrect dates in the census, I realized this HAD to be the right people.

Now I'm going to get the death certificate for Beatrice and find more information on her son.
