Just a thought on the maiden name thing, could she have married someone with that name after her husband's death? Perhaps a cousin...that also wouldn't have been so uncommon at the time...Check out the LDS site for her married name to someone of her maiden name... peggy -----Original Message----- From: Kathi and Jim Elliott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OHJACKSO-L] Seeking burial site Jane and James JENKINS (1840 and 1885??) Thank you for all the suggestions. The thought of divorce seems unlikely since she was still using the husband's name in two censuses after he died, and then suddenly, 30 years after his death, was using the maiden name. I have wondered if they might have never been legally married, or if she just automatically reverted without thinking about it. (Or if a neighbor gave the information and just used the maiden name... People at my church do that all the time. They'll be telling me about someone and I have no clue who they mean because they are using the maiden names.) Anyway, it's another mystery to solve! If she died after 1867, there should be a death certificate somewhere! Thanks, again, Kathi
