Christine All of these are from the KCK city directory. I also looked in the KCMO city directory and did not find a William B SNYDER. 1893, page 109, Snyder Wm B foreman r 815 S 7th 1895, page 116, Snyder Wm B foreman r 507 S Osage This address will be in the 6th Ward, 17th Precinct. You may need the Ward and Precinct information to get the correct 1895 census film from the Kansas State Historical Society. 1896, page 123, Snyder Wm B foreman r 507 S Osage 1897, page 124, Snyder Wm B foreman S&S Co r 629 S Ferree 1898, page 142, Snyder Wm B foreman r 635 S Ferree 1899 No Listing for Snyder, Wm B Spouses were not listed with their husband's in either the KCK or KCMO city directory until the late 1920's. example: Snyder, Wm B (Jennie) Widows however were listed during this time... example: Snyder, Jennie (wid Wm) There were no widow listings for Jennie Snyder The Kansas State Historical Society has local government record microfilms available for inter library loan of the following: Wyandotte County........ Marriage license index, 1892-1902 [AR 4461] Marriage license record, 1859-1917 [AR 4326-4339] (Multiple film numbers here, from AR 4326 to AR 4339) Marriage license record index, 1867-1879, 1913-1917 [AR 4339] ******Kansas City, Kansas ONLY********* Birth record, 1892-1913 [AR 4504] Death record 1892-1911 [AR 4504-4504] (There is an error here in the film numbers. I cut and pasted this from the KSHS web site. You will have to confirm with them what the final film number is, as it clearly is not 4504) Additionally, they have the Kansas State Census and all the newspapers published in the state from 1861.
