Weddings and children

The article currently says Seymour had one son and two daughters with Geri Harrand and cites https://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/seymour-cray-obituary-5595675.html which does say that and is a reliable source But I think it likely that the Independent article got it wrong, since the book The Supermen: The Story of Seymour Cray and the Technical Wizards behind the Supercomputer clearly says that he was previously married for almost 30 years to a Verene Voll, so it is more likely that he had the children with her instead. Unfortunately that book says little about his wedding, so it is hard to confirm from there. https://www.encyclopedia.com/humanities/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/cray-seymour-roger says that they divorced in 1975, and then he remarried Geri in 1980, who already had 3 children of their own. Unfortunately that article does not cite sources, but I think that article is likely correct. I'm sure that digging into other books would clarify this.
