I've recently found an old family letter in which the writer states that he had recently lost his wife and young child due to an auto accident involving a head-on collision by a drunk driver. They were on their way to visit with his wife's mother in Jersey when it happened. They had dropped off the husband at work and were going to spend the night at her mother's and return in the morning to pick him up. They were going from Brooklyn, New York to somewhere in New Jersey....Unfortunately he does not give too many details but gives the name of his wife as Gloria and his daughter as Sherrian. The surname would be CURTIS. This is the first time any of the family members have heard of his first wife so I'm at a lost as to how to proceed to find any record of them and their marriage. Time period would be After 1945 and before Nov 1948. Can anyone help me?

I know you said there were few details in the letter, but - any clues as to where in NJ they were going? Where were thry when the collision occurred? and what was the bereaved husband's first name? Are you sure of the spelling of Sherrian? Do you know where in Brooklyn they were coming from? Anything at all that could have been mentioned in a newspaper account would be helpful in tracking it down. Also when you say "after 1945" do you mean the earliest possible date would be January 1946? or do you mean "1945 or later"?
