And if that's true then they married about 1893 ... + or - about one year. And also shows Maurva(sp?) as having 2 children, 2 living. ( see all census below ) I would think with that Ellen and Elise are her two daughters. It also shows M. J. MILLER as mother-in-law age 51 widow so I would think that is Maurva(sp?) mother. Now the question is ..... was Maurva(sp?) maiden name MILLER or did her mother re-marry to a MILLER. That's my thoughts on the parents of Ellen and Elise. Posting this info here to so can see it if needed later.
