PART 1 - 29 MAR 1956

This is an application for a marriage license. Two things to note here: 1) there is no date listed for Raymond's divorce, and 2) he lists Detroit, MI as POB.

PART 2 - 20 MAY 1956

This is the marriage certificate for application in PART 1. Two things to note: 1) 20 MAY 1956 is more than 30 days from application date of 29 MAR 1956. 2) DOB for Raymond is listed as 6 APR 1897.

PART 3 - 15 NOV 1956

This is not something I've seen before, but it appears to be a waiver for the normal mandatory 3 day waiting period between application and issuance of a marriage license. Item of note: Raymond has listed a divorce that was issued in Oregon on 9 MAY 1956. That date falls between PART 1 and PART 2.

PART 4 - 15 NOV 1956

This is a marriage certificate from the waiver in PART 3. Note: Raymond's DOB is listed as 6 APR 1896.

Research notes for Stella

Why two marriages to Raymond Sullivan?
I don't know, but I'm GUESSING there was a problem with the legal aspects of the marriage on 20 MAY 1956. I'm further guessing that it was either a) more than 30 days elapsed btw application and marriage or b) something went hinky with Raymond's divorce.
In either case, it's my guess that they were notified that they weren't legally married and had to get married....again.
