  Lola is reported as Married, but there is no husband in this household, and no age of marriage is reproted for Lola.  Her daughter Merle (spelled Myrle here, and Murriel on her grave) is reported as Walter's daughter, and with the last name of Tucker, as is Lola.  But the middle initial M may be for Middleton.  These anomalies may be enumerator error.
  
  But another complicaiton is found in Faulkner Coutny marriage records, which report that Lola Tucker, born 1906, married James Jones in 1924.  He may be the missing husband of the 1930 census.  But if so, then Merle Inez' fatehr wa James Jones, not Marvin Middleton.  Marvin was likely her stepfather.  No marriage record has yet been found for Marvin Middleton and Lola Tucker or Lola Jones.
  
  In the 1940 census, Lola's daughter is reported still resident in her grandparents' home, now correctly reported as their granddaughter, but with the surname of Middleton, her mother's new married name.
