Thank you, Joan, for your kind offer.   I found this entry on the site you gave:     Name:  Rivard, Malvina    (husband:  James Murphy) Town:  Lowell Year:  1894 Volume 443 Page 188 Type:  Marriage   I'd like to have a copy of this marriage record - I am really looking for the parents of her husband, James Murphy.  If there are witnesses to the marriage, that would be valuable information.  Also, do you know of any way of finding out if they had children?    Thank you, Diane
