  Marriage	9 Jun 1924	Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, USA   [7, 8]
  Divorce	Between 5 Apr 1940 and 24 Apr 1950  [7]
  	Antoinette was married in 1924 and on her 1958 naturalization papers is listed as divorced. The family was enumerated on the 1940 census and the divorce must have occured between those two events. Update... Antoinette is listed as divorced on the 1950 census, which helps us narrow our window. Assuming the correct record has been located, Eugene Coleman Jr appears on the 1950 Beverly Hills, CA census married to a lady named Valmar.
