Marianna Thomas, b.1864 Pa.
« on: Wednesday 01 December 10 14:43 GMT (UK) »
Trying to find information on a Great Aunt:
 Marianna Thomas b. 12 Jul 1864 Pittston, Luzerne Co., Pa. and died 16 Jan 1905 ?

She was the dau. of Isaac Thomas b. 9 feb. 1838 Cardiff Wales, and Ann Jenkins b. 29 Apr 1840 also Wales. [My great-great-grand parents]

The only information I have is what I've found on LDS and the 1880 census. Did she marry and if so who? and where did they live ? 

She had one brother, John J., my grandfather, and I have a lot of info. on him and the family.

Found this: New Jersey births, mother's age given as 28 which would make birth year 1867-1868. Pretty close?

Trying to trace Wm H Polhemus - came across a marriage in 21 Dec 1886 to a Mary A Thomas. The same couple appear on the 1900 with family, one of which is a daughter Della born Dec 1895. In 1920 they have the Mother-In-Law Sarah J Thomas living with them born 1846 New Jersey.
