Virgil E. Belcher lived in Wichita County, Wichita Falls Texas in 1930 Census Records.
Virgil E. Belcher age 32 was 28 when married:
Worked at a railroad switch house
Born in Texas, father born in Georgia, mother born in Tennessee
Paulene wife age 27 was 21 when married:
born in Texas parents born in Texas
Bobbie j son age 2 ½ born in Texas
Paula J. Wagner Stepdaughter age 5 born in Texas
So by this Census we can tell Virgil
Married Paulene Wagner around 1926
She already had a daughter age 5 Paula Wagner.
This is probably not Paulene’s maiden name
She was apparently married to a Wagner
either that or had her out of wedlock.
Then they had a son Bobbie J or Robert J
about 1927 All were born in Texas
If they had other children after 1930 it wont be known
The 1940 Census wont be out until after 2010.
