The info you posted (I also checked your posting history) was a bit confusing. On this post you say Elvin married Meady, yet on another post you say Meady was his mother and he had married to "ethel avion".

What I could find on census:

1930
Elvin Harris abt 1906 Mississippi Head White rents home, 24 married first at 21 MS US US Farmer
Meady Harris abt 1911 Wife 19, married first at 16, MS MS MS
Besler Harris abt 1927 Son 3 5/12 AL MS MS
Clovis L Harris abt 1929 Son 1mo AL MS MS


1920
Elvin Harris Wiginton, Itawamba, Mississippi abt 1906 Mississippi White
from image:
Fourth District Pike Road
308/324
Roberts, Alice head rents home, 48 Married (no husband shown) MS NC MS Farmer
Harris, Maudie, daughter, 22 Single MS MS MS Farm Laborer
Harris, Elsie daughter 17 Farm Laborer
Harris, Virgie daughter 14 Farm Laborer
Elvin son 14 Farm Laborer
Dell daughter 12 Farm Laborer
all children claim Mississippi birth.
(So it appears that Elvin's mother was Alice, who later married to a Roberts)I could find no more on an Alice Harris Roberts. 1910 census is indexed by head of household only, and as you will see, none of the William Harris in this same county fits to be Elvin's father and Alice's husband. None had a daughter Maud/Maudie.


1910
William H Harris 4-Bt, Itawamba, Mississippi
from image:
42, born AL. Wife Nancy J, children Erin, nancy, Marion, Missouri, Lula and Connie. Mary Friday was an Aunt living with them. This doesn't look like it's the above family.

Also here is a William J Harris, 51, b Mississippi. Married once for 31 years. Wife Easter,34, married once for 31 years. (yes, it claims she was 34 years old). had 15 children. children Martha, (Mona? Flora? Mary?), George, daughter unreadable, Everson?, Berta? and Elsie. Easter and all children claim Alabama birth.

1900
only one William Harris in Itawamba, Mississippi: that's the William H and Nancy J and family.
