    The 1940 census reports Nellie with Melville and their 2-year-old son Thomas in Los Angeles, California.  They had moved there not long after they were married.  Genealogies tell us Melville died in 1993, so they apparently divorced at some point, since she was married twice later in 1960 and 1970.

    Nellie also later had the married names of Nolan and Vaughn.  Her death record has her name as Nell Louise Vaughan.

    There are entries in the city directory for Santa Barbara, California, and later in San Luis Obispo, matching Nellie Brundrett and her husband John F Vaughn.  Their residence is reported to be in Torrance, a suburb.  Nellie's Social Security record indicates that her name on the records was changed to Nell L Nolan in April 1962.

    However, her marriage record reports the marriage actually did not occur until 12 May 1960.  Also her SS record also reports that she changed her name with Social Security to Nell Lou Vaughn in September 1960, after the date of her marriage to Jon Nolan.  The 1960 entry of name change to Vaughan seems to be an entry error or transcription error, since the actual marriage record has the date of marriage to Jerry Vaughan as 27 February 1970.  Maybe the date of 1962 for the change of name to Nolan was also an error, since the date is before her marriage to John Nolan.

    Another anomaly was discovered when exploring the library of City Directories.  A listed showed up for a John F and Nell L Nolan in Nashville, Tennessee in 1931, with others in later years.  This may be just a grand coincidence.  We have Nellie's maiden name Brundrett on her California record of marriage to John F Nolan in 1960.  The name change to Vaughan after that date has not yet been clarified.

    Undated record compilations have Nell's name as Vaughan, with the same birth date, at residences in Sunnyvale, California.  There is also an address with only Kansas.  Social Security records indicate her last residence was Olathe, in Johnson County, Kansas.  Her death occurred in Liberty, Missouri, near Kansas City, Missouri.  Vaughan was her name with Social Security at the time of death.

    It appears to me that the date in Social Security records for Nell's change of name to Vaughan is an entry error.  The date of marriage on her record of marriage to Jerry Vaughan is 27 February 1970.
