Can someone please help me find my great grandmother in the 1920s census?

I can’t find my great grandmother in the 1920s census? She was born Alberta Weathers from Mississippi in 1910 born 1909. In 1930 she was Alberta McNair in Port Gibson, Claiborne Mississippi. Died as Alberta Green in Saint Louis,MO January 1987.

I could not find Alberta Weathers in the 1920 US Census in Port Gibson, Claiborne, Mississippi. She should have been living with her father Briscoe Weathers, as were her siblings.

I did find that her parents, Briscoe Sam Weathers and Jessie Martin Weathers had a contentious divorce in 1916. He was awarded custody of their three children: Allen, Alberta, and Lenora.

You can see their divorce case online for free (with registration) at FamilySearch.org, beginning with Image 611 and continuing to Image 626:

Part of this case involved Jessie not returning Lenora to her father Briscoe. Perhaps later she did the same with Alberta...?

I'm still trying to find more information...
