Seeking records of Willie Speigner

Hello Willie

One odd thing. The 1940 census lists Willie and Pearlie Mae as married but they did not get married until 1943. Maybe they weren't married by the state until 1943?

Bear in mind 1940 is the last census released. 1950 will not be released until 2022.

See if this helps.

On Ancestry, we located Willie at age 7 living with his parents and siblings on the 1920 Census; at age 17 on the 1930 Census; Marriage Record for Willie and Pearlie; and on the 1940 Census although his name is spelled incorrectly but living with his wife Pearlie and brother Buster.
