At this point in time we have no idea where he was married or when he was married.Becky's mother said that after his wife Iris died that a trunk that belonged to Vans/William was given to someone and no one knows what was in it or what happened to it.We have no idea who his first wife was if William is Vans nor do we have a clue as to who the two children were that they had.We are just now sending off for his military papers so at present have no info on his service time.I have the 1930 census info for William Vance and it shows he is 33 yrs. old and that would make him being born about 1897 and that is a 9 year difference from his actual birth info of April 21, 1888.One has to take census info with a grain of salt as names, ages and places of birth can mislead you.Proving and disproving info is the key to finding the truth and that is the process we are using at present.The 1930 census makes it look like the three oldest children are William' but they are not.As a matter of fact, at least two of them had different fathers.We have no idea when nor where William met his wife Florence. Needless to say we are anxious to get his SS and military info.Please correspond with me via my email [email protected]
