BARNARD, Clarence b. 1882-1883 in Luzerne Co. Appears in 1910 PA Miracode Census as follows Emma Barnard Head of Household W 50 PENN 0186 son Clarence 28 PENN son William 20 PENN son Charles 15 PENN McCULLOCK, Anna J. b 1883 in Luzerne Co. Clarence and Anna married June 29, 1910. Clarence show up in the 1910 Miracode but Annie does not. Most likely she had gotten married by the time they got to her house. I cannot find a McCullock family living in Luzerne Co. On her marriage certificate her name is spelled McCullock which I believe is the spelling that she used. However, on her daughter Lillian's birth certificate the last name is spelled McCollough. Because of this, I am having trouble connecting her with a family. I would like any information on the parents and siblings of Clarence BARNARD and Anna J. MCCULLOCK Thanks- Mary Jane Boyd
