Hello, I'm new to the list. I'm trying to find info on my gr-grandmother's first husband, Robert H. J. BURNS. I have no "date" information other than the wedding date... He married Elizabeth "Lizzie" GEORGE on July 1, 1877. I have that they married in Comal Co, Texas... however, they do not show on the 1880 census records for that county or in cemetery records..... So I am deducting that they moved to another county either to BURNS' home or perhaps to follow work.... I have not found anything yet in checking surrounding counties. Gr-Grandma Lizzie married for a 2nd time in Dec of 1884 to John William WILKERSON --- again in Comal Co, TX --- they had 10 children. Either the 1st marriage ended in divorce at some point or Robert BURNS died of a disease or mishap. Since there is a 7-year gap, there is also the possibility of children from the first marriage. I have no records of children but if they existed, they could have also died. I have a wedding date for Robert and Lizzie in 1877... then they disappear until Lizzie remarries in 1884.... from that point I have worlds of information. If you think we have a link or have BURNS in mid-Texas in the 1800's, I'd appreciate your contacting me. Thanks, DebKK Texas
