    • Notes  Divorced:
      • Query:
        1940 Census Edis Brooks is with her parents in Lynn, Winston, Alabama.
        Richard L Brooks is with his Father listed as single and Lodger in St Louis Missouri.

        Divorce petition dated 1945 ?

        1950 Family Unit listed as Married in Alabama ?

        I assume this is just a petition and no Divorce was granted.
