Rafael Bienvenido Cruz was first married to Julia Anne Garza. They had two daughters, Miriam Ceferina Cruz born on Nov 22, 1961 in Austin and Roxana Lourdes Cruz born on Nov 18, 1962 in Dallas.
I am not sure when he divorced Julia and married Eleanor, but those two events probably occurred sometime between 1962 and 1970. Eleanor and Rafael were divorced on Feb 13, 1997 in Houston.
Many thanks, Brown Deer and David
Brown deer, I remembered a site, linked below.
Texas marriage records 1966 to 2008 hasn’t anything for Eleanor Darragh so maybe marriage took place between 1962 and 1966 :

But figuring the difference between Eleanor’s and Ted’s birth years puts her at around 35 years old when he was born.
Does this Citizenship requirement have any mistakes in it?
“For persons born between December 24,1952 and November 14,1986,a person is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true (except if born out-of-wedlock):
1.The person’s parents were married at the time of birth
2.One of the person’s parents was a U.S. citizen when the person was born
3.The citizen parent lived at least ten years in the United States before the child’s birth;
4.A minimum of 5 of these 10 years in the United States were after the citizen parent’s 14th birthday”
So the minimum age she can be in order to meet #3 and 4 above is 24.
If she was 35 years old (born 1935) when he was born in 1970 then it works.
Working the numbers a different way, 1935 birth year for Eleanor + 24 is 1959.
If she got married in 1962 at the earliest , this also works; there’s a margin of 3 years... the cutoff year here would be 1959.
