I'm hoping someone has some info out there about my father's family, his name was Cecil Lindley, he was born between 1912-1914, around Humbolt County, California, Thank you in advance.

My grandpa's half brother was named Cecil Lindley. I don't think its the same one though. This Cecil now lives in Aransas Pass Texas.

Y I HAD AN UNCLE NAMED CECIL LINDLEY. HE WENT BY THE NAME "PAT". HOWEVER, HE WAS BORN IN NEBRASKA IN 1918-ISH BUT DIED IN CALIFORNIA. PROBABLY NOT YOUR DAD BUT MAYBE...

Hi Jerry . My father was born in Humbolt Co and he had a brother named Cecil and was born in 1912. My father was born in Freshwater which is near Arcata. I have some info on my family but not much on Cecil. Hope this helps Franklin L lindley

Cecil Lois Lindley, was my brother. He was born in 1915 in Hamburg, Oklahoma. His Father was Samuel James Lindley and his Mother was Bessie Green.

Do you know when and where Bessie Green died? Or where she and Samuel were married? Do you have any information about the Green family. (Note: we have been in touch by email in the past, I am Verna Lindley Rowley's great granddaughter). Thank you.

I have a copy of the marriage license of Bessie Green and S J Lindley (Samuel James). They were married the 15 March 1904 in Kerr County Texas. They were married by Julius Real, Judge of Kerr County. Brssie was born in 1883, but I have not found where yet. I have found her as Bessie Elizabeth, but not sure that is her middle name as Bessie was also a nickname of Elizabeth. Bessie had a brother William and I have a picture of him. Bessie died 31 May 1916 at Mountain Air, Torrance Co. New Mexico. I have been there but could not find a grave site. Cecil had a picture he had taken in 1951 of her gravesite, but I don't know who has it now. Samuel did not put headstones on any of his graves.

This is fantastic information. I have spent hours trying to find Bessie's death information and her family info. Knowing that she has a brother William will help to find her on previous census records. Funny, I estimate their marriage for 1904 just before Alton was born. I estimated her death in Oklahoma, wondering if was during childbirth when Lois was born. I will go to Findagrave.com to search for her burial information. You mentioned you found her as Bessie Elizabeth. On which record did you find this? Do you have access to a scanner to send a copy of the marriage license and a copy of her brother William? If yes, I will reply to an old email we last exchanged. Thanks you so much.

Samuel James Lindley married Bessie Green in Kerr Co. Texas. She died in 1916 at Mountain Air, New Mexico, and was buried there.
