Classification: Marriage Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Fm.2ADI/355.1 Message Board Post: There are no Thorps marriages at all. The two Vance marriages are 1) Vance, Horace W. age 56 to Dearston, Melinda age 50; 26 May 1892 Volume E-1 page 386 2) Vance, Lorenzo W. 29 to Aitkin, Alice M. 20; 16 April 1903 Volume H page 277 I also checked "Cemetery Inscriptions of Neosho County Kansas" (1978). There are a number of burials for the surname Vance, Thorpe, and Strange, but I didn't find anything for the names you have listed. Same thing for the book "Tombstone Inscriptions Labette County Kansas" volumes I and II. Good luck with your search. Kim Baker Topeka, KS
