Warner Daniel COOK and Mary Ella RILEY were married on 10/7/1899 in Madison County according to the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index. Warner COOK was born March 25 1874 in Omega, Ohio. Mary Ella RILEY was born April 9, 1883 in Moro, Illinois The couple had one child, Corenth Barbara Elizabeth COOK, born on August 19, 1900 in East Alton, Illinois. Shortly thereafter, the family moved to California. I would like to know the names of Mary Ella RILEY's parents. Her mother's maiden name may have been BERRY, BARRY or BARBERI. I would like any record of Mary Ella RILEY's birth or of Corenth COOK's birth. I would like to know if there is any record of this family in census or voting records. Thank you for any assistance you can give me. Marjorie Newton

Dear Mary Jane, It is truly an act of kindness to go to so much trouble to amass all this information. I hadn't seen the 1930 Census. The information that I am seeking is for the time before they came to California. If the family tree has information on their ancestry, I would really like to have it. Thank you so much, Margie Newton
