Surnames: Hosier Ketchum Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YeB.2ACI/570 Message Board Post: Ansel Hosier, b. 1829, PA, brother of John Carly Hosier, I believe is my ggg grandfather. His daughter Lottie married Oscar Rickey and had Alice Alvira Rickey who marred Sam Jones. They in turn had my grandmother. I am confused about census records from 1880 that list Ansel's wife as Ovire and daughter as Lottie. I can find no other record of an Ovire but the 1860 census lists his whole family with his wife as Alvira. I was wondering if the name was horribly misspelled in the 1880 census. Since my great grandmothers middle name was Alvira this would make sense. I was just wondering if anyone had any info on Alvira Ketchum since she was married to him in 1860 and may likely be my ggg grandmother.
