Have you tried tracing her siblings? There are State of Michigan censuses for 1884.

There are also some postcards from a Paul Becigneul who lived in Detroit, Michigan in 1921 to a Miss M.L.

John TAYLOR was on the 1880 census in Wayne Co. In the City Directories 1880-'81 & '83. His wife Hannah is listed as a widow in 1884, I believe. John was born in England abt. 1828. He and Hannah married in 1867 in Detroit. I had thought John Taylor that died in 1878 was mine, turns out he wasn't... Is there a state census or a death index for the years 1883-1885? Thank y'all in advance. cuzzin Mary K i-be-leve@msn.com
