Hi Amanda,
Oh, I am so glad that I was able to help your family with some new information! I wasn't sure if you knew anything about Francis' family, it didn't sound like you did. I can try to help you more........
Where do you live? Are you in Illinois? Usually, a couple would marry in the county of the bride if they lived in different counties. I would start with McLean County and the County Clerk's office is where marriage records are kept in Illinois counties. Peoria County is very close [I believe it adjoins] McLean County, Peoria City is within 30 miles of Bloomington-Normal, I think. Google "County Clerk McLean County, Illinois" etc. to find where to call for information on how much money to send. Sometimes you can order online using a credit card. Also, you could ask at the same time for a marriage of Francis G. Hoffman to Wilma L. Since she is Illinois born, along with her parents, he must have known her in Illinois. She could also be from Montgomery County. So 1st McLean, 2nd Peoria, 3rd Montgomery. But I really think you will find Hazel Gully's marriage in McLean County.
Do we know what the "G" in Francis' name was for? Wonder if it was for Elizabeth Catherine's maiden name? I cannot find that marriage and I've been looking :-)
These are the Texas deaths for Frank/Francis Hoffmans:

You'll notice that there was a Frank GORDON Hoffman, who died in Smith County in 1954. That is where Tyler, TX is, I think. I wish I could think of a way to figure out his date of death, you can't possibly order all these certificates. But have you used the Social Security Death Index? It is online and free, just Google. You could put in each Frank/Francis date of death and check the birthdate, then check off that guy from the Texas death index as not the right one. I already checked for your Francis and he is NOT in the SSDI, so any of the above men who match in the SSDI can be eliminated. I can do this for you if you want me to. It should weed out many of them. And anyone who died before 1930 is not him, either, as he is alive in the census that year. Also, men with middle names which don't match your "G" can be eliminated. So there might not be so many left :-)
I completely lost Ulysses and his wife Elizabeth Catherine after the 1910. They may have both died between 1910 and 1920; there is no death index for Montgomery County online before 1916, so if they died there it was before 1916.
Let me know what else you would like to find out and I'll do my best. If you are in Illinois let me know and I'll try to point you in the right direction.
Regards,
Barb
