Looking for 1940s marriage and divorce records from the Southwestern USA?

Question

I'm looking for marriage and divorce records between Constance Marie Bonneville and Russell Almon Gilmore Lacey, my guess would around 1944 maybe in Arizona or California. Constance may have been married before Lacey to Wonderi. Constance had a son with the name Robert Lacey Wonderi, 29 Feb 1944. My guess is Wonderi took off and Constance married Lacey. I found a marriage between Bonneville and Wonderi in Yuma, Arizona no date, but no divorce.

Constance Marie Bonneville

• Birth: 29 March 1925, Biddeford, York, Maine, United States
• Death: 25 January 1998, Lake Isabella, Kern, California, United States

Russell Almon Gilmore Lacey

• Birth: 14 December 1914, Globe, Gila, Arizona, United States
• Death: 10 July 1982, Guymon, Texas, Oklahoma, United States

They had a daughter born in 1948 in California.

Answer 1

This is not a direct answer to the question, but as a starting point, I suggest you obtain the birth and death certificate for the son Robert born in 1942.

In the California Birth Index entry on FamilySearch, Robert's birth is indexed as:

Name: Robert Lee Wandrei
Event Type: Birth
Event Date: 27 Aug 1942
Event Place: Los Angeles, California, United States
Gender: Male
Mother's Name: Bomeville

His entry in the California Death Index:

Name: Robert Lacey Wonderi
Event Type: Death
Event Date: 29 Feb 1944
Event Place: Los Angeles, California, United States
Birth Date: 27 Aug 1942
Birthplace: California
Gender: Male Father's Name: Wonderi
Mother's Name: Bonneville

California certificates can be obtained from the California DPH or county offices.

These certificates should provide his parent's names, which may help identify his mother's first marriage and possible divorce. Keep in mind that they may not have actually married so there may be no marriage and divorce record to find.
