Hello,
Long shot I know, but have so many variations for this name I have to start
somewhere. Unfortunately, no county known only "born Michigan" listed in
1870 Ohio census.
Handwritten baptismal records list the mother as Margaret CRIMMONS,
CREAMENS, CLEMINS, CREMENS, etc, depending on how the handwriting is
interpreted.
Margaret, b. about 1840 in Michigan, was first married about 1856 to James
WHALLEN/WHALEN, had two sons with him, he died about 1862, then Margaret
married John LILLIS,( he's Irish) and is listed with him in 1870 Wyandot co.
Ohio census, their first son being 5 years old, so estimate second marriage
about 1864.
so I guess what I'm looking for would be:
opinions on what surname may be,
any birth or baptism for Margaret CRIMMONSetc.
1850 census listing for Margaret CRIMMONSetc. with her family
approx 1856 marriage of Margaret CRIMMONSetc. to James WHALLEN/WHALEN
1860 census listing for WHALLEN/WHALEN James, spouse Margaret, and two sons
approx 1862 death of James WHALLEN/WHALEN
appox. 1864 marriage of Margaret to John LILLIS
I have not located anything in Wyandot to help me with the marriages, had
some leads that may point to Hamilton Co. Ohio for activities prior to
Wyandot, but nothing solid. Definitely my brick wall. From 1870 forward
I'm good, and could share with those related.
Sorry to be vague on this one, but certainly is puzzling to me, as I
actually have about 8 variations of this surname. None listed in her obit
or death record, and her daughters' obits list ENRIGHT! don't have a clue
where that one came from.
Any direction appreciated.
Jane
