What I'm particularly interested in finding is the date of marriage for William M. RYAN and Sarah Emma ROSEBROUGH. I believe they were married about 1876 (judging from kids' ages), and I'm assuming, for now, that they married in Independence County as that's where she and her family lived. They settled there, too. He was a doctor; I have photos of his house. I gather (from family lore and Census records) that he came from Illinois, but I don't know when. I do know that he and Emma were married and living near her father in 1880. Thanks for any help.
