Good Morning, I am working on a family who used to live on my farm in North Eaton and census records have yielded some interesting aberrations that I need to research further. The family is that of English immigrant John Marsh (1811-1888), his wife Louisa (Sutton) (1821-1905) and their children, Mary E. "Ellen" (1851-1924), James (1858-1883) and William (1857-1924). Although Ellen and William are listed as single in every census until their deaths within a few days of each other in 1924; in the 1880 census Ellen is marked "widowed/divorced." In the same census, James is listed as married to "Annie" (20 years old, b. England) with a six-year old son, Henry. James disappears by the next census; he apparently died...and there is no Anne/Annie/Anna Marsh anywhere that I can find. But John Marsh's 1888 probate record lists his wife, Ellen, William and a "grandson," Charlie B. And Ellen and William are listed as dying without heirs, although Ellen left $500 to Charles B. Marsh, her "nephew," then living in Columbia Station (1924)although the majority of her estate went to the children of a cousin. There is no mention of James' wife and son, even though they lived in the same house in 1880. The only record of a Charles B. Marsh is one living in North Eaton in 1900 with a William Grills (across the street from the farm where the Marsh's lived), listed as his "nephew." Louisa's will and probate in 1905 only list Ellen and William as heirs. The Marsh family gravestone in Butternut Ridge Cemetery lists a "Charles (1880-1948). Anyone know anything about this family? My second question is whether there are Vital Records available for this area that might shed light on this family. Any other suggestions for research? Thanks in advance, Cindy
