Hi, My George F. Duerr, Jr. moved to I believe Minneapolis around 1880. During this time frame he married an unknown woman, and they had 4 children: Edward b. 1880, Elizabeth b. 1882, George b. 1885, and Lillian b. 1887. I believe with the last child born, the mysterious wife dies, and George remarries in IL a few years later. I really need to know the wife's name. I've been unable to find any online marriage record indexes for Minnesota for 1880+/-. I'm sure there aren't many George Duerr's marrying in MN in 1880, so hopefully the volume of possibilities are diminished. Would some one please help me find his bride's name in the MN index? I would deeply appreciate it. PS. She died in 1887, more than likely in MN. Are there 1887 death indexes for MN online somewhere? Thanks, Michelle

So you are after the one that was born in WI? 1900 United States Federal Census > Illinois > Cook > Proviso > District 1183 428 nnnn Duerr, George F., head, w, m, Nov 1867, 42, m, (19 crossed out) 5, WI, Wittenberg, Wettenberg, Oil Dealer Jennie, wife, w, f, May 1867, 33, m, 5 yrs, 2 children, 2 living, IL, NY, Hanover Nellie, daughter, w, f, Sept 1890, 9, s, IL, IL, WI, at school Bennie, son, w, m, Nov 1893, 6, s, IL, IL, WI, at school Edward, son, w, m, Dec 1880, 19, s, Minn, WI, Iowa, non molder foundry Lizzie, daughter, w, f, Aug 1882, 17, s, Minn, WI, Iowa, stenographer George, son, w, m, May 1885, 15, s, Minn, WI, Iowa, stenographer Lily, daughter, w, f, Mch 1888, 12, s, Minn., WI, Iowa, at school Looks like George's year of birth was recorded incorrectly and it should have been closer to 1858. So far I'm not having much luck finding him in the 1880 census. I was hoping that would help narrow down the location of his marriage. Kathy Michelle Campbell wrote: > > Hi, > My George F.
