I'm trying to trace all his siblings and their descendants as far as I can. I found Josephine Amanada Riley mentioned as a daughter of Josephine Adeline Benoist and James Riley in a book (written in French!) called Historie Des Grandes Familes Francaises Du Canada. I copied the part about the Benoists into the google translator and got a pretty good idea of what it said. I also found Isabelle's will (after my first email to you) at www.sos.mo.gov/archives/stlprobate/. (St. Louis has great online resources!) Her name is Mary Isabelle so she's listed as Mary I. Riley. She died 23 Dec 1881. Josephine Duhring is mentioned - already deceased- as Isabelle's sister. Your g-g-grandfather William is also mentioned - his whereabouts were unknown by his father, James. I did not find her in the 1850 census either, but I got her approximate birthdate from census and cemetery records. She died in 1872 and she is listed as age 26 in the cemetery records. I have more info on the Benoists - from St. Louis and also from Louisiana. Did you know that the writer, Kate Chopin is related to the Benoists through marriage? I got alot of info about the Louisiana Benoists from her biographies. Thanks for the info on William Riley - I had no idea how to find him or his descendents. Please email me directly at rosemori@adelphia.net. I would love to share more info with you. Rose

I was wondering if anyone can tell me where I would find the death records for John McLellard who was buried in Frobisher Sask. This is the only information that we have for him besides that he was in Manson MB in 1933. Thank you Teresa

I am trying to find where Peggy is buried for someone else. All she gave me was that Peggy was 16 when she died and was buried in St. Louis, Missouri. I found the other information about her brothers from one of her stepbrother's obit. Going by her stepbrother's birthdate, 1934, that she had to be born maybe in the 1930s or 40s, she could have been born as late as the 50s. I wish I could give you more information, but at this time this is all I have. Sorry.

Surnames: Riley/Benoist/Sanguinet/Durhing Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WMB.2ACE/4585.2.1 Message Board Post: Dear Rose, Thank you so much for your response. I have many questions and only a few answers. Which Sanguinet is your direct ancestor? Mine is Marie Catherine, mother of Adeline Josephine. Where did you discover Josephine Amanda b. abt 1846? I missed her in the 1850 census. Did you find the James M. Riley and Josephine Riley family in the 1860 census? I could not locate them, yet I knew they were in St. Louis due to city directory records. I did find Josephine Amanda named as baptismal sponsor or godparent to William L. Riley's children: James Harold (b. 1862) and Blanche (b. 1865) Riley, baptized at ST. James the Greater Church. For Blanche, Henry P. Durhing was also a sponsor. I didn't know who they were! Thank you! As for William L., his wife Susan Horine Riley divorced him in Jefferson Co. in 1872. She was from there and she and William owned land at Horine Station. He did not show up at the court proceedings for the divorce. In 1876, he was delinquent on his land taxes, but he could have been dead and Jeff Co. didn't have the news. I could not find him in the federal 1870 census, but in the St. Louis City census of 1870, I found him living with his father, brother Augustus and Isabelle, and his 8 yr old son, James Harold, my great grandfather, then separated from his wife, Susan. I have checked the online cemeteries in St. Louis--Catholic and non, but haven't found him. He could be buried in Clay County, Mo, his birthplace (I doubt it) or Jefferson Co. where he owned land, but I doubt that also. He could possibly be buried in Ironton, Mo. There were some Benoists* living there and my great grandfather used to visit there regularly. Do you have any idea where Adeline Josephine Benoist Riley is buried? I have checked Calvary in the Benoist, Sanguinet and Riley plots, and no luck. *Have you traced Thomas Benoist who was a noted aviator who lived in Ironton and St. Louis? Again, I have more questions than I haave answers. If you want the ancestors of James M. Riley back to 1653, I could share them, also I have a fair bit on Adeline's Benoist's line. Many thanks, Kathy

I don't know if the library staff will look at a whole month. Maybe the papers can be ordered through the Inter Library Loan (ILL) program from another library since the library does not lend its papers. http://www.slpl.lib.mo.us/libsrc/newscoll.htm

Surnames: Benoist, Riley, Sanguinet Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WMB.2ACE/4585.2 Message Board Post: Hi Kathy, I have been researching the James M. Riley family. I am related through the Sanguinets. Catherine Sanguinet's father, Charles, is our common ancestor. So far I have found 4 children - William b.abt 1837, Isabelle b. abt 1838, Auguste B. b.abt 1841 and Josephine Amanda b. abt 1846. Josephine married Henry Primm Duhring. I haven't been able to find William in any census past 1870. Did he die before the 1880 census? Do you anything about Isabelle? She is unmarried, living with her father, next door to the Duhrings, in 1880 but I don't know if the reason I can't find her later is because she got married or because she died. Have you checked out the St. Louis Catholic Cemeteries at stlcathcem.com ? Alot of our Rileys were buried in sec 17 lot 67. You can email me at rosemori@adelphia.net. Hope to here from you soon. Rose
