Ladywill Langston
I'm trying to sort out a tree for a cousin who knows little about her father's family.
Her grandmother was Ladywill Bell, nee Langston, born 1909-1911 (records vary), died 1995 in Texas. Parents: Willie Langston and Sallie Vicks Married: Ananias Bell in 1929 https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discovery...38397721:60901 Will and Sallie Langston in 1930 census: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...ue&pId=1698613 Daughter Sallie Mae (wrong on census - has her 20 years old and married for 19 years if I have read that right). Taking Sallie Mae back to 1920 and 1910 censuses: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discovery...147191735:7884 https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discovery...w/4536051:6061 Wiliam Langston is apparently married to a Fanny Johnson ........... places and ages the same. Fanny didn't die - her and Will are on 1940 census, though there is no 1930 census for Fanny, which suggest Sallie should be Fanny. So who is Sallie Vicks? Where is Ladywill Langston in all this? I can't her on any census before she married. To confuse it further, she appears on her marriage as Ladywill Rice. https://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bi...rhSource=61383 Totally zonked now. Can anyone help? Last edited by Terri; 26-01-21 at 09:51.

Does your cousin know for sure that her grandmother had a sister called Sallie Mae? I'm wondering whether there are two different William Langstons, one from Georgia and one from Texas? (The one in the censuses that you linked was in Georgia.)
Anyway, this is Ladywill on the 1910 census, thanks to someone who has this linked to their tree: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...?pId=122025416 Robertson, Texas Vick Julia Head age 58 born North Carolina Sallie Daughter 20 born North Carolina Luther Son 17 born Texas Viola Granddaughter 12 born Texas Francie Granddaughter 8 born Texas Welborne Grandson 8 born Texas Ladie Granddaughter 8 months born Texas. The grandchildren all have United States for father's birthplace and North Carolina for mother's. The date of the 1910 census was 15 Apr 1910, so the age of 8 months means Ladywill was probably born Aug 1909. This is Julia and Sally in 1900. Sally is down as "son", born Aug 1889: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...8?pId=70969196 The household continues on the next image.

omg thanks for that, that's a brilliant find!
No, she knows almost nothing beyond a father's name and dates (Odie B Bell c1929-2000) and a grandmother's name. Odie and family have been relatively easy to find. Is it safe to presume that William Langston was Ladywill's father, but probably not married to her mother? Last edited by Terri; 26-01-21 at 13:27.

I think this is Ladywill in 1920, in Robertson, Texas (not taken from anyone's tree):

Yes! That definitely looks like her, wonderful!
This will make you laugh - I just asked cousin if she had any idea where her gran was born. She asked her very elderly mother who said that she was probably born in Salem .................  My cousin related this to me in complete seriousness, bless her.
