NOTE - I can find no records showing the birth of any children for Roy and Elsie and the 1910 and 1920 census records also show no children present with the family. However, this 1930 census is puzzling in that there is either another couple living in the same household or else the young Marie Blecha might be Roy and Elsie's daughter who is married to Reginald Blecha and both are living with Roy and Elsie. Marie's age suggest that she would have been born about 1909 which would have been about one year after Roy and Elsie were married.
