I'm researching the life of 1940s movie star Veronica Lake for a biography. According to the Social Security Application of Lake's mother Constance, Lake's maternal grandmother was a Frances Bridget Comer. Comer married a James Francis Ockelman. Now, here's were it gets a little confusing: Ockelman was reportedly the last name of Lake's biological father, yet this document clearly lists it as her mother's maiden name. (Most sources cite Trimble as Constance's maiden name.)

I'm looking for any information on Frances Bridget Comer Ockelman (or Trimble.) I have very little to go on - the only fact I know is that Constance, Lake's mother, was born in Brooklyn circa 1902.

Any individual that can supply verifiable information on Lake's genealogy will be included in the acknowledgment.

Thank you.
