Posted on: Mason County, IL, Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Mason/98 Surname: Paris, Parris, Parrish, Parish, Toble, Foble ------------------------- Effie Paris - Parris - Parrish - Parish I am trying to locate information on an Effie Paris(Parris, Parrish or Parish). What I am looking for is the birth record of Effie so I can prove her parents. I believe them to be the same James and Almeda Parris (Paris)listed on the 1860 census for Menard Co., ILL. Further more I believe that one the marriage return a mistake was made on the father's last name, placing the mother's maiden name in the place of Paris. Can anyone shed some light on this or help me find her birth record? I have a copy of her marriage certificate from Cass Co., Chandlerville, ILL. On the return of marriage it states the following: Groom: Robert H. Dietsch (if anyone needs his information I can supply) Full name of bride: Effie Paris Place of residence: Chandlerville Age next birthday: 20 Color: White Place of birth: Havannah, Mason Co., ILL Father's full name: James Toble Mother's maiden name: Meady Toble No. of bride marriage: First Date of marriage: February 23, 1879 She signs her name as: Effie Parris But on the marriage certificate it states: Miss Effie Parrish of Chandlerville, Cass Co., ILL of the age of 19 years. Dated February 19, 1879 Thank you so much! Veronica Beinstingel Stroud strd@alaska.net
