I am looking for the birth parents of Edna luckett who was born about 1909. I know she was in Leath Orphanage in 1920. she married James Hubert Markle at the age of 14-15 years old. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Edna was Willie Edna Luckett born 2 Aug 1909 in Tn. The 1920 Census shows both her parents were also born in TN.
Willie Edna on her California death notice, she passed away 22 May 1989 in CA, shows her mother's maiden name to be Scott and fathers name Luckett.
Her parents were: J W Luckett who married Mamie Scott (born in Gibson Tn in 1883) in 1905. Mamie died on 31 Dec 1915 in Shelby, Tn,, it appears her death was due to premature childbirth which would account for Edna ending up in the orphanage, I don't know if the baby survived. Mamie's grave on Find A Grave is here
I also found a family tree that seems to match the same facts.
