Although I am not kin to the Shurling family, I have one instance in my family that I can't find any information on.My grandfather, James Ellis Chester, was married to a Leslie Lavinia Sherling.I don't know the date when they married but I do have the DIVORCE papers!The divorce was 6 December 1916 in Swainsboro, Emanuel County, Georgia. I assume the marriage took place after 1914.
There are a few typos in the document so I am searching for her name in several ways. Leslie Lavinia (Luvinia) Sherling (Sherlin, Shurling, or Shurlin)
The story I was told is that my grandfather's four brothers had gone to war and he was left to take care of their widowed mother and two single sisters.The "new bride" refused to live in a house with that many other females so they divorced.I don't think there were any children, but who knows.
If you know of this person or any family members, let me know.
