Many moons ago - or last week - I am not always sure... Veronica Catherine Wolf Married James Cornelius Neligan in Loraine (circa 1910) (Elyria - to be more precise) together over the next 6 years he fathered 4 children with her 3 survived the last was stillborn at some point circa 1916-1918 they went their separate ways she, in what I can only think of as "a fit of female prerogatives", renamed the 3 children lock/stock and barrel.. The Children were raised in the area and were known as James Leonard born Dec 1910 James Leonard Married Mary Spanick I think James' Children are still in the Loraine area. Mildred Leonard born Nov 1912 Mildred Married Clarence Hambly They are both buried in South Carolina Carl Edward Leonard (Carl was born Edward Joseph Neligan) Carl was my grandfather. he was born Oct 1914 Carl Married Theressy Pearl Ferdedich however, Peyton Place rules seem to apply Her Name was Helen Elizabeth Veres Her Mother was Mary Molnar Her Father was Joseph Ferdedich he appears to have died before "Helen" was born Mary remarried Denes Veres Veronica went on to marry John Thomas Leonard sometime after 1917 (we think) James Cornelius Neligan is currently an enigma. James Cornelius Neligan age 15-20 circa 1910 so born roughly (his age was not consistent over all 4 birth certs) 1890-1895 Any words of Wisdom on where to start? -- *************************************************************************** * Richard M.
