To any Dillon researchers: Does anyone have any record of a marriage of a Dillon/Campbell marriage probably circa 1918 or thereabouts? My grandmother, Evangeline (Eva) Esther Campbell married a Dillon and they were only married about 6 months or so. This came as quite a shock to us, as we only discovered this marriage at the time of her death in 1986. My mother and her sisters never knew that their mother was married to someone other than their father. If anyone knows of this brief marriage, please let me know. We'd like to know who she married and why the marriage ended. Thanks!
