    1. Re: Thomas H Curtis & Sarah Elliott, need 1900 census lookup
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ih.2ADE/1197.1 Message Board Post: Sorry, I don't have an index to 1900 or I would look in Jacksonville, Morgan Co IL and Hannibal , Missouri for you. Thomas is in Springfield, Sangamon Co IL in 1910 living in the 4th Ward, Dist #141. He has his new wife Katherine, has been married about 1 yr (states second marriage, 1 yr) and has his father in law and mother in law only in household ( no children still with him) Elizabeth Curtis has a death record--Elizabeth "Curtiss" died Hannibal, Missouri on 16 July 1903 at age 79, listed volume 3, page 397, cert # 8386 , Morgan Co IL (you ca view this listed at IL State Archives Death records online). Death record likely states place intended for burial which should give you comfirmation about perhaps East Jacksonville Cem. I don't see a listing in archives for Henry, but you might check for one anyway. Celia Elliott died in Jacksonville, Morgan Co IL at age 75, volume 2 page 102, cert # 4579, on 31 Oct 1893 (record listed online at archives). Charles Elliott is 'probably' the Charles Elliott listed as transcribed in Jacksonville East Cem. Stone states 22 Oct 1880, 65 yrs. Charles was listed as age 64 yrs old on the 1880 census and is the only Charles Elliott in this age range living in Morgan on this census. His 'proof' of place would be harder to prove as there would be no death record. I would imagine if Celia's death record states place of burial as J'ville East, she either has a missing/damaged stone, or never recieved one. Sarah A. Elliott is listed as buried J'ville East, died age 54 on 28 June 1908 in J'ville and was married at the time of death. I didn't see her listed at the State Archives but MAGA has her listed as Morgan County book 4 page 617. Her obit might be available in the old J'ville newspapers and her death record may or may not contain additional information ( sometimes informer is listed, parents, husband and place of birth and usually place of burial. Sorry can't look up 1900, but maybe some of the death records will help you. Rhonda
