Boy, that name Hamill keeps coming up! :)
I guess now the question is was she born a Hamill or a Chenny. The
marriage record would have her legal name. I would presume the bio would
have provided her maiden name, particularly since it refers to her a
"Miss." (The first marriage would have long been out behind her.)
