Marriage License for James Parrott and his first wife Clara Miller. The Sons of the Desert-Twice Two Tent St Neots, UK, have been researching James Gibbons Parrott. He directed our favourite Laurel and Hardy shorts.We discovered James Parrott married Clara Miller iin 1921. However, there is scant information about her. No date of birth, only that she's a housewife. We couldn't even locate a photograph of her. We traced them living together in Beverly Hills. Unfortunately the trail runs cold by 1930.With lack of evidence, we can only speculate what happened next to the couple. We have found no evidence of divorce papers.
