In case you don't have this, I found a list, Index to San Francisco Marriage Returns 1850 - 1858, that shows she was married to J. J. Ayers on 13 Jul 1854 in SF. From looking at the on-line SF Directories, J. J. or James J. was the owner of the J. J. Ayers & Co. and was the publisher of the Daily Morning Call. Later on he was in real estate. Residential address of both the company and Mary was 25 Turk Street. Mary was listed as a widow, but I'm not sure that this was the case.

You are so fabulous! I am excited beyond words to get this mystery solved! That's very kind of you to do that for me. Although, I must admit, I always loved an excuse to visit the cemeteries in Colma back when I lived in the Bay Area. Thanks so much, RC, Kim Kim..... Just got back from looking at the microfilmed, handwritten, burial records of SF. Found her. Mary Ayers died 28 October 1869 at Hamilton, Nevada of Pneumonia. She was buried at Calvary Cemetery (catholic) in SF. Due to the closing of all of the cemeteries in SF, all of the remains were transfered to Holy Cross cemetery in Colma. On Monday, I will go over to Holy Cross and verify that she is there. Hopefully, I'll be able to get photocopies of any records that they have and a picture of her gravemarker, if there is one. Do you know what her maiden name was? RC ----------------------------------------- NORCAL ARCHIVES: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ Enter NORCAL. Browse by month.
