I am researching my STICKLAND family and have traced Raymond S. STICKLAND to Martin Co. IN
in 1889 when he married Jessie SMITH on September 2 of that year. Raymond was born 1855
Iwerne Minster Dorset. Jessie was born August 1849 place unknown.
Prior to being in Indiana Raymond S. STICKLAND was in Ontario Canada at least from 1861
to 1871 as he appears on both census records with his parents Josiah STICKLAND and
Charlotte PITMAN (aka Shalotte PITMOND).
In the 1900 Benton Co. IN census Maggie appears as a widow with four children: John b.
Feb. 1877, Frank b. Aug. 1879. Mary b. Feb. 1883 and Joseph b. Nov. 1885. All births were
prior to the marriage of Maggie and Raymond and although listed as STICKLANDs on the
census, I do not know if the were Ramond's or Maggie's from a previous marriage.
Raymond obviously died between Setp. 2, 1889 and the time of the 1900 census.
Any help is sorting this out would be greatly appreciated.
