Holly's tree — Drummond final pass (2026-11-08)
Two open items from holly-open-items-2026-11-08.md. Searches done in Claude in Chrome

correction flagged in §1c is for whoever maintains tree-holly-coe.md / the site.
1. William Wylie Coe (b. 1886/87 WV) × Eunice I. Drummond (b. July 1907 Sask.) — marriage
Result: marriage record NOT FOUND. Window narrowed to 1920–1924.
1a. New key record — 1920 US census
FamilySearch ark 1:1:MN2P-7YR — "United States, Census, 1920", ED 45, Marshall Co, West

1b. What it means
- In January 1920 William was still married to and living with Ida (Belle Logsdon). Eunice was 12. So the Eunice marriage is after Jan 1920 and before Lora's birth (1924, Piqua OH) — and likely needs Ida's divorce/death first. A WV divorce (Marshall Co circuit court) is a lead not yet searched.
- Eunice and her father Martin H. Drummond were in York Twp, Switzerland Co, Indiana in 1920; the marriage place is most plausibly IN / OH / WV / KY, not Canada.
1c. ⚠ Correction for the tree (not applied here)
There are two Lee Coes: Lee the brother (b. 1902) and Lee, son of William + Ida, b. ~1914 WV (this census). The earlier note "Lee Coe 1915 is wrong" was incomplete — Ancestry's "Lee 1915" is supported by this record.
1d. Also confirmed
- Eunice Coe SSDI (FS ark
1:1:VMBM-ZP5): born 13 July 1907 (Find a Grave says 11 July), died Feb 1986.

2. Lizzie (Elizabeth) Drummond née McClinaghan (b. 1877-02-15 Ireland) — death
Result: NOT FOUND. Bounds tighten: alive at the 1911 census, absent by Nov 1919.
Context gathered
- 1911 census, Saskatoon: Martin, Lizzie, Helen (1902), Unice (Jul 1907), Phelix (May 1909), Cecil (May 1911). A 1906 Northwest Provinces census entry exists for Helen.
- Nov 1919 US border crossings at Winnipeg (St. Albans district, NARA M1464): Felix (b. Nov 1910 Prince Albert, "Irish", line 17 — no image online) and Walter (b. Nov 1912 Saskatoon). Lizzie not with them — consistent with her being dead by late 1919.
- Walter SSDI: b. 1913-10-23, d. Oct 1976 (note: a different year from the crossing's Nov 1912).
- 1920, York Twp, Switzerland Co IN: Martin H. Drummond with wife Mollie + Eunice, Felix, Walter → Martin had remarried by 1920, so Lizzie died (or they separated) 1911–~1919.
- No 1916 Prairie census household for Martin/Lizzie was located in this pass.

- Marshall Co WV circuit court divorce, Coe v. Coe, 1920–24; Ida Belle (Logsdon) Coe's later record (remarriage/death) would date the split.
- Indiana county marriage books (Switzerland, Dearborn, Ohio counties) 1920–24 — Martin was in Switzerland Co in 1920; FS Indiana marriage index browse rather than name search.

- Felix Drummond's 1919 border card image (M1464) — may name a mother/next of kin.
