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/CGC.2ACI/604 Message Board Post: For a challenge, I purchased a photograph from an antique store in Boise, ID, labelled "Elizabeth Bell McBride 1855-1943" and, with the help of others here, managed to figure out who she was. I am posting this information I found and the original photograph here for those researching her family. I am NOT related to this family. Elizabeth Campbell Bell was born in 1854 or 1855 in Albany, NY, the daughter of Adam E. and Mary F. Bell. In 1856, the family moved to Oshkosh, WI, where Adam was an architect (see http://www.oshkoshpubliclibrary.org/pages/history/architecture.html). Elizabeth married Donald "Daniel" McBride and they are found in Roseville, Placer, California in the 1880 census (see below). At some point, the family moved to Spokane, WA, where both Daniel and Elizabeth died. A genealogy of the McBride clan, including Daniel and Elizabeth can be found at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cafamilies/mcbride/dnld-ft.html _______________________________________________________________________________ 1880 Census Entries for Daniel and Elizabeth Bell McBride Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace Daniel MC BRIDE Self M Male W 31 NEW BRUNSWICK Deals In Hay & Lumber SCO SCO Elizabeth MC BRIDE Wife M Female W 25 NY Keeping House SCO SCO Edwin MC BRIDE Son S Male W 8M CA NEW BRUNSWICK NY Hugh WINTON Other S Male W 20 CAN Shoe Maker SCO SCO William MCINTOSCH Other S Male W 20 CAN Farm Laborer SCO SCO Francis J.
