WIFE NUMBER 1
I went to the archives today and found the divorce record for Joseph and Helen Szalay.
Helen's previous name was Helen Forsythe, and they were married on 15 Jul 1953 (WHERE?). In the papers, it is mentioned that Helen has an adult son by a previous marriage. It is therefore unclear whether Forsythe is her maiden name or the name of her previous husband.

Based on City Directories and other info, I think it's a strong possibility that Helen's maiden name was Smith, and that she married and divorced a man named Otto Forsyth(e). They had a son named Otto Jr., and a daughter Sally.I still haven't been able to find a record for Joe Szalay's marriage to his first wife, Helen.
