Stacy - you should also try to get the birth certificates for Ivan and one for Willie Lee (ca 1931) through the state of AL: http://adph.org/vitalrecords/index.asp?id=1559http://adph.org/vitalrecords/index.asp?id=1559
The benefit of obtaining this would be that it should tell you the parents names - and hopefully their age and where the parents were born.That should be of great help to you.Since you know now that there was Willie Lee - who was the son of Ellie Jackson and Maudie Cole Jackson - who was 6 when he died 21 July 1927 in Russellville, Franklin Co AL you could also get his death cert, but I would opt for Ivans and Willies birth certs.Willie may not have been born in AL, but I think it is worth a try.It is possible that Maudie's maiden name was Cole, but I wouldn't hold my breath - that could have been a middle name.
I have not been able to locate them in the 1930 census yet. Perhaps Eli/Ellie is under a different first name in the census.
