The same tree has an announcement attached related to Anna.
Rather than type the lot out, I'll send by PM as an attachment

The marriage to Adolphus was her 2nd, and no children from that marriage were mentioned. Her first marriage was to Edward Cleveland Freed 1907 24 Aug
Age: 16 Hagerstown, MD

As he didn't die until 1977, they probably divorced.

Any marriages for an Arthur E Thums? Born 1885
Born in England but immigrated to New York with the family. Brother of Ernest.

Hm, still no children. This basically means the family stopped over there now, no kids

As your query was the date of marriage, the nearest we can get based on the 1930 census, is that it took place 1925 +/- 1

No children appeared on that or the 1940 census.

Ernest was born in New York to Annie Kirkby and Arthur Albert Thums.
Thank you!
