Have found a marriage certificate Naming Mary Jane Caswell, Dtr of Alva Caswell & Anna unknown
Date of marriage is Nov 3, 1920 at Oakland Cty, Michigan
Groom: Wm Cornall, of Holly Michigan, Occ - Inspector - Son of Oland Cornall & Anna Whittenmore.
It is unknown to me at this time, if Mary Jane Caswell is same as Joanna (Jennie) - mistake on certificate naming her Mother as Anna . Witness is Jos. W. Caswell - which would be Jennie's brother. Certainly the age is relavent in that on 1920 Census - Jennie was age 19, living at home & SingleJoanna married William Cornell on 3 Nov 1920 in Rose Center, Oakland County, Michigan, USA. William was born about 1898; died in 1986. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
