Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WCE.2ACIB/1053.1 Message Board Post: I would like to help, though I would need a little more info. Would you have her husband's first name? Where did she live out the remainder of her life? Any children? Women are hard to find with out some connecting family info. Most census indexes use head of household's name. To find her before marriage in her parents household the best luck would be the 1850 census, that I do not have access to, she would be about 15 then. (if she was not married by the age of 15) 1840 census list only the head of household's name. Perhaps asking someone with Ancestry's data subscription to do a look up can be helpful. I can look up page #'s in the 1850census, my census images are not indexed. Reply with some info and I will see what I kind find.
