Have you looked in the 1880 SC census? There would be a soundex for them since the family would have had a small child. Also, by 1893 in Massachusetts most town vital records would list the parents (although probably not the mother's maiden name). If they were still in Fitchburg in 1900, the census might be able to show what state her parents were born in - which would give you a clue to where to look for their marriage record. Also, check 1910 and 1920 MA census for the family - see if they stayed in Fitchburg. Did you try Mass Vital Records for her death record? I don't know if the Fitchburg/Leoninster area was big enough for a city directory, but it would be worth checking. Maybe the Fitchburg public library is online with a catalog or at least an address where you could write for infromation. I know there was a state census every 10 years in the "5" year, so maybe 1895, 1905, etc (if they are extant for Fitchburg) might give some clues and help tell how long they were in Fitchburg. Also, the USGenWeb Project page for Worcester County, MA might have some contact info in Fitchburg and a place for queries as well as other information. Good luck.
