The city directory will not give you what you want. It tells that a person was there and his occupation and address sometimes. It gives the name of the wife's husband if a widow. Send to Indianapolis, Marion Co for Bridget's death certificate.This will tell or might tell her parents. Send for Edward's death cert. It will most likely tell his parents as Bridget was still living and would have known as well as where in Northern Ireland he was born. I found an Edward A Smith that died March 15,1886 Indianapolis, Marion Co.,IN. I found Bridget's marriage to John Kelly 16 Jan 1889 Marion Bk 585 and Bk 3 pg 65. Their application should tell who their parents were. Also found John Edward's marriage to Rhoda E. Kline 21 Jun 1911 Marion Co.,IN. Do you have Bridget and children on the 1900,and 1910? I found Anna Frances with her mother in 1910. It looks like she married an Albert Glendenning and had a daughter, Mary K..Is this right? I find Bridget in the 1889 and 1890 city directory in Indianapolis residing at 336 S. Illinois. That is all it tells online.

Donnagene---you go girl !!! Thank you for such an informative e mail. 1. I did send for Bridget's death certificate, and received it just this past Friday. It does tell her parents, and I am so happy to have that info. I have her death date, and her obit. Since Edward died so young, Bridget remarried John Kelly, and her son supplied death info.to the coroner about Bridget. 2. I would love to send for John Smith's death certif. but I don't know where or when he died. 3. I sent away for John Kelly's death certif., and I also found out who his parents were. 4. Yes-that was my GG Uncle John and Aunt Rhoda. I sent away for their d. certifs. too, and Aunt Rhoda died first, and Uncle John knew her surname (Kline) and nothing else was filled in. 5. I have Bridget and family for 1900 but not 1910. Yes, Anna Francis married Albert "C"lendening, and their first born was Mary "A". Once again, thank you-I learned a few dates I can add to my chart. Would you send the book/page # that you found for Edward Smith's death, just in case it is him? Many Thanks, Cece > I found an Edward A Smith that died March 15,1886 Indianapolis, Marion > Co.,IN. >

For: Henry Frank Clendening--Indianapolis It would have been after July of 1927. Thank You, Cece
