Well folks, I'm back, begging again !!! I finally obtained the SS-5 for my Mom, and thus determined that my maternal grandmother's name was Ella TOMLINSON. There's a lot of Ella Tomlinson's out there from the right era. I now need to find the marriage record of Ella TOMLINSON and Joseph Benjamin BLANCHARD, which had to have occured c. 1892, =/- a couple, based on census document info. However, I have no idea where it took place, or if it took place at all. I know he was the son of Josiah Blanchard of Gates Co., NC, he was born there c. 1845, and that he showed up in WV, where he married Hester B. Wilson in 1879, and she died in 1889. The LDS website produces no hits. I am hoping & praying that someone can check Ancestry.com (which I can't afford), or perhaps have books of marriage records for that era, that can check for me. I've found that most marriage search engines produces no results, too many results, or hands you off to Ancestry.com. My very sincerest thanks, well in advance. Were it not for good folks like you, I'd be nowhere with my research. Jay R. Smith Toledo, OHIO
