The marriage information for Louis Sims and Idella "Della" [surname unknown] was incomplete in my previous post. It should be "about 1894". On the 1900 census, they were listed as having been married 6 years. On the 1910 census, it was 15 years. [On the 1930 census, the ages and marriage ages do not match up with ages and marriage years on the 1900, 1910 and 1920 censuses. All the other censuses have Della/Adella just one year younger than Louis/Lewis, but 1930 has a 3-year difference between their ages. On the 1920, their marriage ages indicated that they married in 1900. But on the 1900 census, they already had 3 children.] Here is a marriage record which MAY be them: The 1900 census stated they had been married 6 yrs, so the date fits. If the L is for Louis/Lewis in the grooms name and the D for Della in the bride's name, it could be them. <<<<<<<<begin copy [from ancestry.com]>>>>> Alabama Marriage Collection, 1800-1969 - Name: L A Simms - Spouse: N D Price - Marriage Date: 21 Oct 1894 - County: Chambers - State: Alabama - Performed By Title: Minister - Performed by Name: W C Bledsore - Source information: Jordan Dodd, Liahona Research <<<<<<<<end copy>>>>> Sorry about that incomplete date.
