Hello; In the marriage index for Covington, Kenton Co. KY (Marriage book #1), there is a George W. DUFFEY age 21, resident of Newport, farmer. He was b. KY, father's bp not shown and mother born PA. Bride was Lizzie Shippey, consent by mother, age 18, res. of Covington. She was born GA, f.b. SC, m.b. PA. License issued and wedding both on 8/14/1869. I see nothing in the marriages in either Kenton Co. KY or Hamilton Co. OH for any similar surname spelling to Mary Elizabeth Belsford. Also nothing in the Cincinnati Daily Commercial obituary index. There are quite a few Duffy or Duffey marriages in Cincinnati and the following were in Covington KY: Catherine b. Ire. mar. in 1871 Mary A. b. Ire. mar. 1863 Peter b. Ire. mar. 1863 Mary b. OH mar. 1874 Get back to me if you would like spouses and exact dates of those marriages. Ann Bergelt Florida
