Looking for Sidney Wright or Hannorah Russell of Alabama or Texas
I am looking for info on my 2x great-grandparents, Sidney Alexander Wright (b. 2/23/1884 in AL d. 3/31/1942 in Camp Co. TX) & Hannorah Russell (b. 2/12/1886 d. 10/10/1942 both in Camp Co. area). They married around 1904/1905. They had 6 children:
Florence Mae: 3/17/1906-6/10/1975 (my great-gma)
Elwyn Alexander: 7/08/1909-12/27/1986
B C: 1911-1922?
Harris: 1/08/1913-07/1987
Emma Sue: 3/02/1922-6/07/2005
Hattie: 1928 (Living)
I can't find any info on Sidney prior to 1910 census. His death cert. (info given by son, Elwyn) says his father may be named Alexander, & one birth cert. for a girl who only lived a few days lists his birthplace as "Hudson, AL" (handwriting VERY hard to decipher). I located a "Hudson Mill" in DeKalb Co. AL, but that has turned up nothing so far. Their only living daughter says that she thinks he was primarily raised by a step-mother & he may have had some half-brothers living in Arkansas.
I can't find any info on Hannorah prior to 1910 census either. A couple of censuses list her as Flora H. Wright. Their daughter also told me Hannorah did have a sister, but she only met her once as a child & didn't even recall her name.
