have not found Roy in 1930 yet
There is a record of a Roy Fish who was born in Milan, Ohio marrying Augusta Sommerschield (b2 JUN 1891 in Norwalk, Ohio) on Feb 4, 1933 in Toledo, Ohio so suspicion is that Ada died/divorced and he re-married. There may be more children here! Also need to see if death cert. is available.

Obituary:
DEATH BY CHOKING WAS INFANT'S FATE
Piece From Bamboo Mat is Swallowed By Fish Child of Milan
MILAN, O., Dec. 10. - (Special) - Death by choking after swallowing a small piece from a bamboo mat was the fate meted out to the ten months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Fish, Thursday midnight. The infant, while playing, put the stuff in its mouth late in the afternoon. Drs. Gill of Norwalk were summoned and worked over the patient until recovery seemed reasonably sure. They left early in the evening. At midnight the infant passed away. Whether death was due in the presence of some of the bamboo in the mouth, or to the resulting irritation is not known. The Fish family is one of the best known and most prominent here. The infant is survived by the parents and a three year old daughter. Mrs. Fish is prostrated by her loss.
The funeral of little Robert Malcom Fish, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Fish, who died a tragic death by choking, Friday, was held at the Fish home west of Milan Sunday afternoon. Rev. H. C. Cunningham officiated. The services were tender and impressive, and truly appropriate to the memory of the pure little life thus rudely terminated. A feeling of genuine sympathy and sorrow was manifested among the assemblage of close friends and neighbors, who gathered to mingle their tears with those of the grief stricken parents. Following the ceremony at the home the remains were tenderly conveyed to the Milan cemetery where interment was made.
