I am trying to find information about a John Hirsch who married a Mary/Marie Biswell on October 8, 1890 in Clinton Co. They lived in the Brookside area of Clinton Co. I have them on the 1910 Ill census, I think. I am trying to find if they had any children and if any are still around there. Mary/Marie Biswell's sister Lizzie Biswell Brown was my great grandmother. She would be my great Aunt. Mary/Marie was born in either Monroe or Clinton Co.Thanks Charlotte Christensen
Hi, Charlotte, There are no Hirsch or Biswell listed in the current telephone book. You might try a locator such as http://www.anywho.com/ to see where there might be people by any surname in Illinois, if they have a listed telephone number. In 1900, John & Mary Hirch lived in St. Rose Township, Jamestown Village, Page 253A. Household 7-8 Hirch, John, head, May 66, 34, married 9 years, born IL, father born Germany, mother born Switzerland, day laborer, didn't work 3 months last year, owns home free of mortgage, neighbors also had tie to Switzerland Hirch, Mary C., wife, Nov 66, 33, had 4 children, 4 living, Illinois, Missouri, Missouri Hirch, Mary M., Dau, Sep 91, 8, IL IL IL Hirch, Susana F., Dau, Feb 94, 6, IL IL IL Hirch, Grace, Dau, Jul 95, 4, IL IL IL Hirch, Laury E., Dau, Oct 98, 1, IL IL IL The Illinois marriage data base is at http://www.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/marriage.html One way you could go is just insert Hirch in the bride block and leave it at statewide. After you look at that one entry, try Hirsch. I can look for additional data at the FHC in a couple of weeks if you tell me privately which Clinton Co. marriages you'd like me to look up. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim and Charlotte To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003 9:50 AM Subject: [ILCLINTON] John Hirsch I am trying to find information about a John Hirsch who married a Mary/Marie Biswell on October 8, 1890 in Clinton Co.
