  	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.
