William filed with Des Moines for a correction on birth certificate from "E." to William Carl. Original certificate has “Edward Bunyard”. Said he lived at 5th and Scott at the time.
The copy I have of birth certificate issued 22 June 1942
“
Were your parents married at the time of your birth? (We do not have single parent births, prior to July of 1995.)”
ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE SITES ADDRESS OF EDWARD AND DORA AS 602 S.E. 5TH STREET IN DES MOINES
I am not sure why but I believe William got a corrected birth certificate to match his name. William already had a social security card by 1937. A Bunyard aunt got a delayed birth certificate in Iowa. I wonder why Bill bothered as it didn’t seem to cause a problem with employment, buying a home, government, etc. so perhaps he was pushed to do so in order to get a life insurance policy.
