Hello again Thank you to Jerrald for the advice to post more details. These are the only details I have on this couple - I have been unable to locate them in the 1920 or 1930 US Census Index and am not sure why. Their marriage William Maxwell Busch, aged 25yrs & Bessie Henniker, aged 21 yrs, were married 9 May 1917 in the Congregational Church of North New York in the borough of the Bronx. William's occupation was given as an Asst Engineer and his place of birth was New York City. His father was named as Charles Busch and his mother as Anna Busch. I know more about the Hennikers (as this is a family line) however Bessie was born in New York the daughter of Edward Henniker and Catherine Bachman. Witnesses to the marriage were Walter W Herman and Ethel Henniker (sister of Bessie). Their deaths I have confirmed Bessie's death via the US Social Security Index and she died 07 Jan 1990 in Contra Costa California. I believe this is William's Death in the Index "William Busch Birth 23 Apr 1892; Death Jan 1964; Last Residence: New Jersey; SSN: 142-10-7808; Issued: New Jersey. Any assistance would be much appreciated Regards Anne Wiltshire Runaway Bay QLD Australia
