Would like to know when and where in Nevada Frances/Fanny/Fannie OLDS
married (unknown) BLACKIE/BLACKY. In 1880 Fanny OLDS was 25 years old,
single, and working as Housekeeper for C.T. Bender, banker, in District 52,
Washoe Co, NV. In June 1892 a Fannie BLACKIE was midwife for a birth in
Genoa.
If anyone has other info on this family, would like to hear from you. Fannie
is supposed to have had brothers George OLDS and Abraham OLDS. There is a
George OLDS in 1900, Sweetwater Precinct, Esmeralda Co, NV, pg 128, 39 years
old, single, a teamster, b. NV; Father b. NY, Mother b. MI.
In 1880 census, Washoe Co, pg 295, Fanny OLDS recorded as b. NV; Fa b. MI;
Mo b. MI
In 1880 census Mason Valley, Esmeralda Co, pp 142,144, there are two
listings that may be for the same persons -- an Abe OLDS and an Abraham
OLDS. It seems more info and more accurate for Abraham OLDS with wife Lou
and children Mary, 5, and Merritt, 4. Abraham recorded as 30 years old, b.
IA (as opposed to IL); Lou, 25 years old, b. ME (as opposed to CA) (perhaps
this should be MI?); and both children b. NV. Abraham's Father b. NY; Mother
b. IA. Lou's Father b. ME; Mother b. ME.
I have real questions about the ME, and wonder if it should be MI? Also, it
is easy for children to be mistaken about place of birth of parents.
In 1880 census Mason Valley, Esmeralda Co, pg 143, is John OLDS, 56, b. NY.
He could be Abraham's father.
I know there is supposed to be a John OLDS b. 1822, NY, m. to Lucy with
children David Luther, Albert D., John Joseph, James, Eliza, Frances,
Mortimer. I have seen no documentation on this. The father of John b. 1822,
NY, is supposed to be Luther OLDS who m. Dorcas YOUNG.
Hope this isn't too jumbled to make sense. Will greatly appreciate help.
