Thanks
Marion

The american cencus can be searched upto 1930 to find possible children.

I think that Chicago is in Cook county.
Ancestry:-
Social Security Death Index
Cook County, Illinois Death Index, 1908-1988
United States Obituary Collection
Cook County, Illinois Marriage Index, 1930-1960
Cook County, Illinois Birth Index, 1916-1935

Couldn't see any 1930 US census for him on Ancestry which fits - but someone else may have better luck

I found this but it doesn't jive with the date(s) you gave:

Full Name Married To Record Type File Number Event Date
TURNBULL, JOHN M. DEKKER, ELIZABETH Marriage 1787705 9/9/1943

The cost for a downloadable copy of the marriage license is $15.00 (USA)

Thanks Judy. I dont have a lot to go on.

Ellis Island has a John Turnbull arriving in America 3 Sep. 1923 aboard the Lusitania. He was 32, born Dundee, Scotland, married, an iron dresser. His wife was Mrs. J. Turnbull, 46 Charles St., Dundee, Scotland. he was heading for Brooklyn, NY to join friend Mr. P. Reilly, 250 57th. St., Brooklyn

Hi Margaret

On his death cert in 1937 says he was resident 17 yr when death accurred.,so he would be there abt 1920.

Thanks for looking.
