My husband's great-great-grandfather got married in 1915 in Indiana, but he gave his current residence as Lansing, Michigan, and his occupation as "Secret Service man." This guy had a history of lying and being a general cad (he claimed this 1915 marriage was his first, when he'd left a wife and son back in England in 1914), so I'm trying to confirm or deny this story. I can't find him or his family in the 1920 census, but in 1930, he's living in Ohio with a wife and son working as a salesman in the music industry, whatever that means. Any pointers are appreciated!

In England files that were deemed classified are de-classified after a certain amount of time, if this is true for America then the files concerning your husbands relative should be available from your National Archives. Also if he actually wrote "Secret Service man" I wouldn't believe hime, sounds a bit false.

Given the fact that he was a liar and ran around on his families......I would say it's safe to say that he was lying about being Secret Service. I doubt that the Secret Service would provide you with any information.

Do a Google and check and see if you can obtain a Secret Service web site.

Contact the Secret Service via the U.S. Treasury department, of which it is a branch. I don't know if they will release the names of agents, but the worst they can do is tell you "no." Good luck!
