Seeking any document on Alice Jones married to James "Jim" Blanche

I checked the same records. I would doubt the 1940 Alice is related. The 1930 census is more credible. Did Alice take Jim's last name? I tried Alice Jones and Alice Blanche but couldn't find anything related to her death or their marriage. Were there separate records for Black people? I'll try checking again but you may need to try to gather as much information as you can from family.

Good luck,

Henry

Dear Ms. Strickland,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the websites for Ancestry and Family Search but were unable to locate a marriage license for James Blanche, Jr., and Alice Jones in Sunflower, MS. We also were unable to locate a death certificate for Alice on any website in 1927 using both surnames.

Because her death occurred prior to the Social Security Administration compiling the SSA death index, we suggest that you search Mississippi's partial but not fully complete Index to Mississippi Death Records, 1912-1943 to determine if a death certificate for Alice can be found. The Mississippi State Department of Health will conduct a 5-year search for death certificates for free when the date/place of death is uncertain. For additional assistance, please read background information on How to Find Mississippi Death Records.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
