Robert Martin Fri Feb 4 09:05:09 2000
I am looking for marriage records of my Ggrandmother Phebe Corell who married George Martin about 1890. They lived in Soldiers Grove but there are no records in Crawford County.

DWYER / DWYRE - REILLY / RILEY

Pat Alves Tue Jun 13 09:23:59 2000
Hi! I am looking for any information on John/Cathrine DWYER, their daughter Julia DWYER who married James REILLY/RILEY in Westford, Richland County in 1869, or any other members of either family. I have found records of burial for John and Catherine in a booklet of Richland County Tombstones called HERE THEY SLEEP, published in 1975. It indicates that they have tombstones in St. Bridget (?) Cemetary - but I cannot locate any confirming records or anything about them. I know that some of the children of James REILLY/Julia DWYER moved on to Spokane, Wa area, but I don't know if any descendants remain in the Richland area. Don't know if the Dwyers had any other children that lived there either, tho I did find a Michael DWYRE farming there in the 1880 census. Any help anyone can offer I would truly appreciate. If you don't know them, if you could offer suggestions on how I could find out more? Thanks! Pat4Cal@aol.com
