Hi, Welcome and glad to hear from you!

Thanks for your question...it's a tough one though so I am not sure how much we can help, but I will look for a solution.

Just out of curiosity, how did you hear about us?

Any additional information that you can share? You have a death date ...but no location, correct?

All the best,

Jim

Very interesting! Thanks for the feedback on the marketing.
Yes, True Blue Through and Through.

My feeling is she must have remarried. How old was she when her husband died?

I see they were living in Provo in 1910 just before Albert died living on a farm there and married for 4 years with no children.

Did she have a middle name? Were you able to find her on the 1920 census after Albert died and was she listed as a widow? I can't imagine her continuing on without getting remarried at such a young age and no children. But you never heard of children (your cousins) being born from her did you?

I had an Aunt growing up that all I knew of her was she was a Stevens, but came to learn she had married twice and that is how I finally found her death record.

Without knowing the right last name at time of her death it may be tough to find her. If she had survived to get a SSN it would have helped, but it doesn't sound like that is the case if she died in 1930.

So where was she in 1920?

Thanks...I will look up those references on Ancestry and see what else I can find.

Thanks for the additional information. I will get back to you.

It looks like from this 1930 Census that you may have a match and a reason that you haven't been able to find her before. She probably remarried a "Weller" and had a son named Samuel. Then for whatever reason she was sent to a mental institution for women in California by 1930.

If she did study holistic medicine in Chicago maybe she did become a nurse. There is a reference of a nurse named Mrs. Inga "G" Knudsen in L.A. in 1916 in the Voter Registrations...leaving her plenty of time to remarry a Weller in California, have a son Samuel, and then be institutionalized by 1930. She probably died that same year as the census. I will look for her death index under Weller in CA.

It looks like from the additional voter registrations in California that I looked at that any other references to a Mrs. Inga Knudsen in L.A. are all referring to a different Inga and her husband Anton a laborer living on Reseda 1924 - 1954.

However, the 1921 directory for L.A. shows the two at different addresses...one for him on Hyatt and one for her on Angelus av., so perhaps there are two Mrs. Inga Knudsen's in L.A. about the same time.

From the 1916 Voter Registration we find Mrs. Inga "G" Knudsen, a nurse, living atXXXXX, but it doesn't show the names prior to hers so I can't see if Anton is listed at the same address.

That may be a lead or just another reference to the same Mrs. Inga Knudsen who is listed with Anton in the 1930 census as being born in Norway abt 1883.

The first impression for me is still the same, in order to survive on her own she needed to remarry so look for the Weller connection.

How's my service been? Okay, Good, or Excellent?
