CC's Genealogy Today

Ok.  Today I am going to look into the genealogies for the people in the possible marriage records I found.  Starting with:

Name:	Thomas E William
Spouse:	Ellie Gilbert
Marriage Date:	3 Aug 1867
Marriage Place:	Washington, Maryland, United States
URL:	http://www.washcolibrary.org/l...

No results on Ancestry with that exact year of marriage and Maryland as place of marriage.

No results on Family Search either.

Next up:

Name:	Thomas Williams
Spouse:	Lydia Holland
Marriage Date:	18 May 1882
County:	Prince Georges
State:	MD

Looks like this might be the one most people accept.

The Henry Family Tree Public Member Tree 8 attached records, 9 sources

Thomas Oliver Williams Birth:  1849 - USA Marriage:  1885 - Prince Georges, MD (Maryland) Spouse:  Lydia F.

F:  John D. Williams M:  Catherine

The marriage is off by 3 years though and it gave me many results, so I am going to take it down to an exact year.

Thomas O Williams Birth:  Jun 1842 Marriage:  13 May 1882 - Fond du Lac County (Fond du Lac), Wisconsin Spouse:  Amelia Lydia Fritcher

F:  (Name Unknown) M:  (Name Unknown)

Same month and year, wrong place.  Still this is the first I have seen of this name.  I still have 1000 results so going to minimize it down further by exacting the place.

No exact results…Taking that all back down and clicking exact on Lydia's last name.

Still no exact results on Ancestry but so far considering only the names…this one is the best fit.

Going to double check Family Search now.

No results.  Taking the marriage year off…people may not have found it.  Still 0 results.  It appears this marriage record is basically unclaimed.  Which would be the case in this line of my family… just not enough people searched for all of the details on a lot of people in this line.  Continuing on just to be sure!

Next up:

Name:	Thomas H. Williams
Spouse's Name:	Lizzie E. Smithers
Event Date:	20 Sep 1873
Event Place:	Dorchester, Maryland

Becci's Bunch Family Tree Public Member Tree 1 attached record, 1 source

Thomas Williams Birth:  Abt. 1846 Death:  Dover, Kent, Delaware, USA Marriage:  1873 Spouse:  Susan Elizabeth Smithers

F:  (Name Unknown) M:  (Name Unknown)

No children listed in tree though.  No children listed in any of their trees.  Going to Family Search to see if I get any different results.

0 Results.

This one doesn't match up well so it's probably not it anyway.

Next up:

Name:	Thomas Gwillian
Spouse's Name:	Nellie Adams
Event Date:	25 Oct 1870
Event Place:	English Evangelical Lutheran Church, Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland

The closest I found was Amelia Adams but they were married in 1831 according to those trees.  Nothing with exact year and place and nothing when I removed their wedding date and made the name Nellie Adams exact.  No kids for Amelia matches closely to Lydia's Ellen Susan or Sarah E.

Switching back to Family Search to see what they have.

Family Search 0 results with exact year and place of marriage so removing that.  Still 0 results.

Ok.  I guess my next step is to do a search of all records for these couples.  Specifically if they have an 1880 census other than the one I already saved.
