I am looking for information on the wife of a Russell Kinsely/Knisley who was living in Detroit in 1945. Her name was either Margaret or Isabel. These two girls were the daughters of Harry E and Margaret Strine Burnside of Youngstown OH. Trying to locate descendants of Robert Burnside born in Co. Antrim in 1817 and immigrated to Beaver Co., PA in 1817. Thank you for any help. Linda Holley

Bush, born in Michigan on 7 April 1863, parents born "unknown", occupation of barber -Marie Bush, wife, married 1 year, born in Canada on 6 August 1875, parents listed as Scottish In 1910 the family was living 272 Holden and William is still listed as being a barber and that the couple were married for 11 years. William is also listed as having been married once before. In 1920 the family was living at 883 Gladwin in Detroit, Ward 21. There were 6 children listed: -William C., age 18, born Ohio -Claude, age 17, born in MI -Margaret, age 12, born in MI -Thelma, age 10, born in MI -Alden, age 5, born in MI -Ralph, age 2, born in MI William and Mary's son, William C., was born 24 March 1900 in Toledo, Ohio. In that record it lists the maiden name of his mother Mary as "Murray". See this record: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-23316-57252-84?cc=1932106 Here the marriage record for Thelma's brother, William (note that his middle initial is listed as "A" on this record, not "C" as his birth record. This also substantiates the information that Thelma's mother's maiden name was "Murray"): https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11866-96998-33?cc=1452395 Here's the marriage record for Thelma's older sister, Margaret E. Bush: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-11694-211342-64?cc=1452395 Margaret's husband, Leighton Keith Stahl, died 6 June 1940 in Detroit. He was born 24 June 1899 in Ohio. Here is the death information for Thelma's brother, William: Name: William Bush Last Residence: 49622 Central Lake, Antrim, Michigan, United States of America Born: 24 Mar 1900 Died: Jun 1966 Some information shows the following death info for the parents of Thelma: William: died 8 May 1948 in MI Mary (also written as Anna Mary Murray...please keep that in mind when searching or requesting records): died in 1951 in MI Maybe you can find a death record for William since you may have a correct death date.

This raises a VERY interesting question (for me!) My great grandfather, Will M. Cochran, died in San Francisco on July 6, 1941. He had no wife or woman at the time. His daughter Marguerite Huss was notified, and from the death certificate that I obtained his coffin was sent back to Marguerite Huss who at that time lived at 4338 Bingham, Dearborn, Michigan. I have been unable to find a burial date for him on FINDAGRAVE. Only his California death record. Are you suggesting that he could be buried in the back yard at 4338 Bingham, Dearborn, Michigan? Also, of further note, I called the MacFarland Funeral in Dearborn, home where his remains were shipped, and they have absolutely NO INFORMATION about what happened to him!! Which now, thanks to the perspective offered below, leads me to suspect that he really was buried at 4338 Bingham, Dearborn, where his daughter Marguerite was living. If anyone has any comments about this possible scenario, I would be most appreciative to hear your thoughts.
