Hi Ross,
Not related, just reading messages.
Found the following on the IGI and it may be worth checking out.
I realise it has different dates to that of the grave marker but mistakes do happen one way or the other. It all depends who gives the info and if they knew the person well.
Your follow up message gave me the L.
Granville L. Boyd

Birth:1856, Newton, Missouri

Death:15 MAY 1875
Father:John Boyd
Mother:Martha Witherspoon
Wife
Mrs. Derinda J. Lacey

Marriage:03 JUN 1847, Newton, Missouri
Then again it may be totally the wrong person.
If you have hit a wall, I would get a copy of Gladys Lucille's birth cert. It is your own line and would be nice to have.
The cert should give you the details of their marriage, age, where and maybe their parents names if you are lucky.
The more recent certs aren't as detailed as older ones.
If you are not fussed to have her cert go for the youngest child's cert as that will list all previous children and how old they were at the time. I mean Elsie as the infant certs sometimes only tend to have the father's name on them.
Hope this helps.
