Millicent Carle died Oct 1984 in Geneva Ohio...

This is her grave but no Orin in the same Cemetery.

http://www.ashtabulagen.org/gravestones/egreen/ecb_1476.JPG

Found this if it is the Orin L. that Millicent married then he either remarried or was married before Millicent but he was only 21at that time

http://www.theledger.com/article/20051107/OBITS/511070331

1940 Census of Geneva Village shows him aged 13 b Florida living with

Pearl Carle 31 mother
Esther 11 sister
John 8 brother

All details in his Obituary point to him being the husband of Millicent.

EDIT...The Lakeland referred to is Lakeland FLORIDA and not Ohio.

On the outward passengers list, Charles and Minnie have been mis-transcribed with the surname "Spinke"

Clearly reads "Spinks" on the image.....

Thanks Prickly and Eringobragh. i am in contact with Andrew Carle, and he lives in USA, all the information is helping him get his tree going further. I have traced back some of his Spinks line to the town of colkirk , norfolk , England to find he has many relatives from that area.
Everyone who has supplied information has made the search easier.

Thank you.

Now need to find the line from charles spinks b 1834 d 10/7/1900 occupation baker and his wife jane d 23/5/14 from colkirk.
