Hi Shirley, I am just starting that branch of the family. I know my grandmother Elizabeth was born in 1892 and the youngest of the 10 children of Olive and Mande Hubbard Evangeline (Eva) was born in 1911. I can just guess that because the 60th wedding anniversary was in 1948 the wedding was in 1888. Again guessing at that average age at marriage would be 18-24 then their birth dates should come between 1864-1870. Sound reasonable to you?Just called my cousin and she said Olive was 16 and Mande was 20 when they married ; so 1872 and 1868 or thereabouts for birth dates. They were married in the Tusket area and Olive`s maiden name was also Hubbard. Can you see anything that might link up here?
