  Marriage Notes:

Following 1910 and into the 1920s, it seems that William and Ida may have been undergoing a divorce or at least living separately. Each is found in a different location from the other for the 1920 and the 1930 census records. On the 1930 census, with each living separately in York, PA, William indicated that he was widowed while Ida indicated that she was divorced.
