I highly doubt the first marriage would be documented anywhere. I've searched
high and
low, Bill's searched high and low too. He's spent years looking for Olive and
Jack's actual
marriage date and up until a few weeks ago he still hadn't uncovered a thing.
The fact that
he now has a date and certificate number is a major breakthrough in one of the
many
unanswered questions surrounding Olive's life. I'm sorry it didn't surface
before my book
came out, nevertheless, I'm thrilled!!!
