My ancestor, Ben D. Hemmes, was noted in the 1880 census as having a wife, Trientje. In the 1900 census he is noted to have a wife named Wobkea/Walkea. I am looking for information concerning the probable death of Trientje and the marriage information for the (assumed) second wife, Wobkea. Can anyone give me ideas as to where to look? Thanks in advance. Jill
