Does anyone on the list have access to marriages in this time frame that would be willing to see if there is a marriage for Roy Kern and Ruby Bray? (Her name might even be Lena or Paulina for that record.)

Ruby is also known as Paulina/aka Lena Bray Kern and ages are off in the later census.

In 1910 she is with her sister Bessie, age also off, but is closer, in Los Angeles, Los Angeles 1030? So. Flower? Street
Bray Lena is Lodger 27 f w single Iowa, father Iowa, mother Iowa, saleslady dry goods

Bessie is sister to Lena but ages of both are off considerably. Paulina, aka Lena, aka Ruby Bray is born Iowa, 12 Feb 1879 and is 1 in Iowa 1880, Black Hawk, Lincoln twp. census.

I have DC info for both Bessie and Ruby, CA death index for both, burial for both.
