Was Speakman her maiden name? Try searching the International Genealogical Index (IGI) at your local Family History Center. Look for a marriage record 1856 or later. Many of the single women married soon after arrival in the valley. Almost everyone was married in the Endowment House. All the EH marriages have been entered into the IGI. I found a number of single women and widows from the 9th HC company by checking EH marriages. As many couples married elsewhere were sealed in the EH, this sealing record shows up as a EH marriage; one way to find the wife's maiden name. ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: [HANDCART-L] HANNAH SPEAKMAN Author: Robert Speakman <rlsdoc@pol.net> Date: 7/13/98 2:12 PM Some time ago you all gave me some good advice in researching Hannah Speakman, who traveled with the Paul Gourley family in the Martin Handcart company in 1856. I've found what information I believe exists up to their arrival in Salt Lake, however, she seems to have disappeared after that--she did not live with the Gourley family, and so far I can't determine where she went. Any suggestions? Thanks, Robert
