OK, you'll see how dates and locations can make a big difference. If Alvin married a girl from Mountainview, he probably lived there when he met her. He may have gone to Rosedale for work and just recently lived there.

1910 census Mountainview Twp, Kiowa Co, OK:

Thomas, Robert L., h, 47, M(2) 5 yrs, b TX, TN, TN
" Ermin(sic), w, 25, M(2) 5 yrs, 2 ch, 2 lvg, b AL, AL, AL
" Elvin(sic), s, 19, b OK, TX, US
" Arther, s, 16, b OK
" Jessie R., s, 15, b OK
" Effin B., d, 13, b OK
" Loyd R., s, 4, b OK, TX, AL
" Dora E., d, b OK, TX, AL

Once we have an age and state of birth for Robert, see what happens? And, we beginn to pick up married names of a couple of daughters on following censuses.

1920 census Hale Co, TX:

Chick, Earnest, h, 30 m, b KS, Eng, Eng
" Effie, w, 23, m, b OK, TX, TX
" Julius, s, 3 ?/12, b TX
" Estil, s, 1 10/12, b TX
Thomas, Robert, f-in-l, 57, m, b TX, TN, TN
" Erma, m-in-l, 36, m, b AL, AL, AL
" Dora, s-l, 11, b OK, TX, AL
" Gertrude, s-l, 8, b OK
" Claud, b-l, 5 ?/12, b OK
" Arthur, b-l, 25, sgl, b OK, TX, TX

1930 census Hale Co, TX:

Thomas, Robert L., h, 67, M @ 22 yrs of age, b TX, TX, TX
" Ermine, w, 45, m @ 20 yrs of age, b AL, AL, AL
" William C., s, 16, b TX
" Eulis, s, 6, b TX
Brady, Dora E., d, 21, wid, b OK
" Orville L., grd son, 3/12, b TX, TX, OK

This now gives you some additional family to search for, and various locations, too. I would look for marriage record for Robert and second wife in Kiowa Co, OK.

Happy Hunting (^_^)
