    1. [ALJEFFER] Help to find a marriage: Brooks/Morgan 1900
    2. Gwen Brooks
    3. I need help finding my husband's grandparents' marriage. I don't know the exact county of marriage but I do know the general area of the state they lived in so I'm checking several county records. Could someone please check for this marriage record or a census record for 1900 or 1910 for these people? At this point I'm going by the process of elimination--county by county. John Nathaniel Brooks(b. July 27, 1861 and d. March 2, 1913) married Amanda or Della Morgan (b.June 17, 1880 and d. June 28, 1913) for his second marriage probably between 1899 & 1902. His first wife had been a Keener I think-but that's family "legend." He had three children that I know of from the first marriage: Anderson Dee (b.1894) Georgia (b. 1890 maybe married a Payne), Lillie (dob unknown, might have married an Elliott. These children might be still living with John on a census record. John & Della had four children that I know of: Savannah, b. July 21, 1902 and died April 9, 1907. Julius, born July 1, 1905 and died October 22, 1906. John Thomas, b. September 26, 1907 and Wallace Curtis, b. June 28, 1910. >From all this I would believe that John and Della could have married between 1894 & 1902. But if Savannah was the first child I suspect that the marriage was closer to 1900. I would appreciate any help with this. John and Della died within three months of each other when their son Wallace (my husband's father) was 3. Wallace didn't know anything about his parents and couldn't pass information along. Thank you. Sincerely, Gwen Brooks
