A Cuyahoga County Probate Court historical marriage index entry records Donald E. Ponceby as groom and Helen L. McDonald as bride, case 1900ML1056660, volume 530, page 0235. A separate 1957 passenger manifest lists Donald E. Ponceby with Helen M. Ponceby. These likely describe the same later Donald spouse, but the middle-initial conflict and missing full marriage record keep her at lead level.

Dates not yet resolved
What actual marriage date, ages, residences, prior-marriage statuses, and parents appear on the full Cuyahoga marriage record?
Is Helen L. McDonald the same person as Helen M. Ponceby on the 1957 passenger manifest, or are these separate women?
Does Donald Edwin Ponceby's 1969 Ohio death certificate name a surviving spouse or informant that confirms Helen's identity?
