Hi All, I thought I would toss my line in here and see what I might catch... Edward A. (Alice??) DOWNS m. Betty ESSEX (??) ca mid to late 1800s. One daughter Mary Martha DOWNS was born 1905, in Marion County. A son Francis (Frank) was born in that decade too. Do these names ring a bell with anyone? Is there anyone who could/would do a lookup for me to see if a marriage record or vital record (any record!! LOL) could be found? I would pay for copies, and gas, and time. Cheers!
