This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/oZEBAIB/4167 Message Board Post: I'm looking for information about my great grandmother, Martha Ann Russell, born in Iowa in 1852 or 1853, probably eastern Iowa. Her parents were born in Ohio. She married Thomas Ward, an immigrant from England, and they lived out their lives with sons in Oregon and Idaho. Help would be much appreciated.

Hope this might help a bit. Using the LDS FamilySearch website I found - Martha RUSSELL Marriage: 8 Dec 1874 - Jackson, Iowa Spouse: Thomas WARD Could not find any information about their parents or children. Please keep in mind that the LDS database is frequently erroneous, but always better than a blank sheet of paper. You might try getting a marriage record from Jackson, Iowa. Might provide more information.
