I googled both "Eleanor Elizabeth Wilson" and "Eleanor Elizabeth Wilson Darragh," went three pages deep on each name, and nothing offering proof she was born in Delaware. Plus, on both searches, the first entry was this article by Steven Lubet at Salon, excerpted below:
Still, the birth certificate does state that Cruzs mother, Eleanor Elizabeth Wilson, was born in Wilmington, Delaware. As Cruz has often said, that made him a U.S. citizen at birth, and therefore eligible to be president but only if the birth certificate is accurate. The Canadian officials would have had no reason to question Cruzs mother about her native country, nor would they have demanded any proof. Her word alone was good enough for Canadian purposes. Why would they care about the babys future qualification for the U.S. presidency?
Which brings us or rather, which ought to bring the birthers to the documents Cruz has not produced. Where, for example, is the Consular Report of Birth Abroad, which Cruzs parents could have obtained at the U.S. consulate in Calgary? That would at least establish their intention to register him as an American citizen while they were living in Canada. For that matter, where is Eleanor Wilsons own birth certificate? I mean, anyone can claim to have been born in Delaware, and everyone (including this dual citizen of the United States and Canada) knows that Canadians are too polite to ask tough questions. Birthers will have no such qualms. Will they require documentary proof?

Of course, Lubet naively assumes that Cruz will get the same treatment by Trump and Taitz and a million other idiots that Barack (OH MY GOD HE'S BLACK!) Obama did, which we all know is not gonna happen.
But the question remains: Where is Wilson/Darragh's birth certificate? Where was she born?

every CuboCanadian would likely agree.

That might be an explanation of the "Kolob" hypothesis. Then again it might not.

Hail Kolobian, Weird woman!
Hail, ye heroes, heav'n-born band,
Who fought and bled in Joe Smith's cause,
Who fought and bled in Joe Smith's cause,
And when the storm of war was gone
Enjoy'd the peace your valor won.
Let Salt Lake City be our boast,
Ever mindful what it cost;
Ever grateful for the prize,
Let its altar reach the skies.

(45,274 posts)In reality, though, I think Ted's too Tea-toxic for The Powers to permit him to get far in the nomination process. Sorta like Santorum & Huckabee that way. Sure, if there's something to make of it, fine, but it won't alienate his nutcase base, and I think he's too unmanageable for the Rove types to want anywhere near the levers.

She reasoned that he was born in Kenya and therefore wasnt a natural born American one of a handful of constitutional requirements for the job. (Obama's birth certificate shows that he was born in Hawaii, but some critics do not accept that as fact.)
Fast forward six years and another freshman U.S. senator, Canadian-born Tea Party firebrand Ted Cruz of Texas, is being mentioned as a potential 2016 presidential candidate. But Katok, who would vote for Cruz in a heartbeat, doesnt have any concerns about his eligibility.
As far as Im concerned, Canada is not really foreign soil, she said. ...........

(1 post)OK, it took me less than 5 minutes to come up with her date of birth Nov 23, 1934. Born in Delaware and her aliases she's used over the years, her contact details including current phone and present and past addresses, her family including parents, sister, husband, children etc....
The investigative reporters need to do their homework before writing an article so they don't look like slackers.
At the end of the day he's a jackass and won't get the nomination... even most republicans don't like him.

(68,918 posts)even most republicans here where I live don't like him.
They effing adore him down here in Texas. It's why we ended up with the jackass in the first place.

(1 post)I did a very specific search for her and did not ever reach any public records that indicate what you claim. During this period of time is was seen as a way to get a legitimate birth certificate by going to Calgary; we came across this with one of my male co-workers who (several years ago) was almost refused entry back into the United States because they discovered he was adopted but showing as born in Calgary. Definitely someone needs to completely investigate with an accurate knowledge of the applicable law.
