I was told by some helpful members of this list that there is a book listing graves in Westbrook cemeteries. I would very much appreciate a lookup for: BLANCHARD, Jennie. According to the ME Archives Marriage List, her maiden name was LAVERTY and she married Augustus BLANCHARD 26 Sep 1895. She is one of those unsolved mysteries in my LAVERTY family tree and if I had her date of death I could order her death certificate and hope to make the connection. Thanks in advance.

Dawn, Well I have found a couple in the 1900 census with a husband Augustus, if you can verify that this is him from the LDS site than that would confirm him in the 1900 census, the reason I say confirm as his wife's name in the census is Agnes. This from the LDS site: AUGUSTUS BELA BLANCHARD Male Event(s): Birth: 28 JUL 1872 Falmouth, Cumberland, Maine Death: 02 APR 1950 Parents: Father: SOLOMON BLANCHARD Family Mother: FRANCENA FIELDS The 1900 census of Westbrook, Cumberland, Maine, ED #83, Series T623, Roll 591, page 303B Has the following people: Blanchard, Augustus, head, b. July 1872, age 27, married 1 year, born in Maine as were his parents, works as pulp digger? Agnes, wife b. Mar. 1875, 25, mother of 1 still living, born in Canada (French) as were her parents, immigrated in 1897 They are at the bottom of the page, there is no child with them or on the next page. Maybe Jennie died? or is this the wrong Augustus? ~ Sherrie
