Lydia F ? WILLIAMS
What do I know about
her?
In 1880 she was
living with her husband: Thomas WILLIAMS (31), and her 2 daughters: Ella
Williams (8) and Sarah E Williams (2).
They lived in: District 7, Baltimore, Maryland. She was 29 at the time of the census giving
her a birth year of about 1851 and reports she was born in Maryland.
Her husband appears
to remarry in 1885 in Prince Georges, Maryland (according to the 1900 census)
before he moves on to Ohio where he took the 1900 Census. It appears their daughter Ella Susan WILLIAMS
moved with him as she married in Ohio in 1895.
What do I want to
know about Lydia F ? WILLIAMS?
What
is her maiden name?- I hate not having this for my charts.
Who
were her parents?- This will help further the continuation of my tree.
What
is her birthday?
What
date did she die?
Ok. Where should I look for clues to answer may
questions?
Well
it looks like she probably passed away in Maryland. It looks like most if not all of her life was
in Maryland. Some records that may give
me hints to her Maiden name might be a marriage record or death record. Since I don't have her parents' names it
would be kind of difficult to find a birth record or anything at this
point. However since I have her spouse's
name I may be able to find a marriage record.
The death record may only have her married name listed so I will look
for her marriage record first.

This is after the
1880 Census though. It is the same
county that Thomas Oliver WILLIAMS married Mary around 1885 though.
I put 1870 +/-10
years so that I don't get anything after the 1880 Census. They both claimed in it that they were
already married.

This is the same
year Ellen was born. I'm pretty sure
this isn't it though because I'm pretty sure I saw them in a separate 1880
Census.
Double check 1880 census for Richard Thomas Williams.
There was over 600
records to go through so I restricted the spouse name to match exactly for the
last name of Williams. Those 2 appear to
be the only possible Thomas' in that collection. I'm going to broaden the date again and see
if I find anything else. I don't see
anything else. I am thinking if she was
born in 1851 (I don't know how young they married back then) but I am thinking
the earliest possible age would be 13 so I am looking for marriages that
happened in Maryland between 1864 and 1880 when they reported being married
already and she carried his last name. I
just wish Ancestry had a way to put in the exact date range you are looking for
instead of +/- whatever.

I could see Ellie
being a nickname for Lydia though…maybe.
She did name a daughter Ellen Susan and her other daughter was named
Sarah E.. So who knows…this could be it.
She would have been 16 here.
Yea nothing else
really so went back and searched on the main page for Thomas Williams married
1872 +/- 10 in Maryland.

This is possible I
guess. Doubtful though because she would have only been 13.

That is
it! Since the Richard Thomas Williams
and E. F. Bryan looks like they make the most sense I am going to check into
their records more, before I move on to Family Search. I quite possibly could have the wrong 1880
Census…although I doubt it.
