Hi Shirley:
Please don't post your messages with all capital letters. It makes it very difficult to read and in the computer world it is the equivalent to shouting. Many researchers won't post a reply for this reason.
A few questions that might enable someone to assist you:
You have a copy of the marriage certificate...does it give Lillie's age? Who was a witness at their wedding?
Do you know Lillie's mothers name?
When did Lillie and Virgil separate?
I found Virgil in 1930 living in CA. He stated that he was married-but his wife wasn't listed with him. He wasn't in the Army - he was a cook at a restaurant.
Where and when did he marry your mother? Do you have a copy of that marriage application or certificate? He would have to give a date for his divorce from Lillie...which may lead you to other records.
Have you thought about ordering a copy of Virgils service records? Unless they were destroyed in the fire it would supply you with all of the information which you are seeking.
Post to the forum if you have any further information. Good luck with your search!
