In 1886 what age was the legal age for a girl to marry in Pepin Co. WI? If a couple married in Pepin Co. and lived in Wabasha Co. MN, would their marriage have to be annuled in Pepin Co. WI? I found the marriage of WILLIAM STRICKLAND and ADA POOLE 1886 in Stockholm, Pepin Co., later they either divorced or the marriage was annuled, they sold the property they had in Wabasha Co. 1888. Ada remarried in Stockholm under her maiden name, to William Bowers, but was still a resident of Wabasha Co. I am not sure how the legal system worked back in those days. Maybe someone on the list will be able to help me. Verna

Woops, I am sorry about the other message that got sent, I clicked on the wrong thing. I am fairly new at all this. I was hoping someone would be able to help me with some research in the Stockholm, Pepin Co. area. I am trying to find a marriage record of William Bowers and Ada Poole in 1897. I got their obits and they both said they had married there. Her last name could be listed as Strickland. Could someone help me out? Verna

Does anyone have the 1900 census for Pepin Wi? I am looking for my grandparents Peter and Wilhelmina Westberg, they immegrated from Sweden in 1892 to Pepin area. Thank you Darlyne Boelter

I am new to your list and looking for information on WILLIAM BOWERS and ADA POOLE. From an obit I have, says they married 5 Sept. 1897 in Stockholm. I would like to get a copy of the marriage record, if someone could find one for me. Was William Bowers on a census there before or after the marriage. Verna

I am looking for a WILLIAM STRICKLAND that might have been living in the Stockholm area during 1895 or 1900. I don't know if WI has state census. Maybe someone on the list would be able to check a census for me. I appreciate any help. Verna

Hi, I apologize for this off topic post but this is important. My email is in some of your address books or emails. This virus picks out all of them. I am sending a message to all of the mailing lists that I am on to warn that the "Snow-white" virus is still circulating. In the from line it says "hahaha". I received it three times since Sun. night. I don't know where it is coming from. I don't have it on my computer, but someone does. I would just like to warn everyone to update your virus definitions and scan your hard drive. Hoping you are virus free, Peggy :) Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly! :)
