Maude Jones Quigley

[SherryQ]

My Grandmother Maude Jones was born in Canada abt 1889. She married my Grandfather Frank Quigley 1904. They moved to California within the time to have my Dad Earl Quigley 1930. Supposedly Maude died about 1937. I can find no info on her birth or death. Frank died in 1954, buried in Seattle. My Father has passed also. So no one is left to fill in the questions. Story has it Maude was a orphan. So sad she has no history. Any suggestions?

Hi SherryQ:

Welcome to RootsChat.

Could this be the couple in 1930 (ages are incorrect, though)?
1930 Long Beach, Los Angeles County, CA (April 4, 1930)
Frank E Quigley, age 41, married at age 35, born Iowa, father born United States, mother born France, Cook - Hotel; U.S. veteran
Maude Quigley, age 31, married at age 25, [cannot read her birthplace-looks like Colorado, crossed off, with something written above], father born Canada F(?) (Quebec), mother born Canada E?(other than Quebec) [my computer screen isn't very clear - they may both be F]
Lived on Crescent Avenue, No. 226

I'm sorry, I can't find anything for your Maude.  Is there a chance that the couple I found could be your couple? 

[SherryQ]

Thank you Lisa. so happy to see proof Frank was in Canada. I had seen 1930 census. I did not understand why Colorado was crossed out, maybe the person taking the census misunderstood her. The army registration is him though. Thank you. If she was orphaned any suggestions finding her?

[Lisa in California]

Have you checked the 1901 (Canadian) census?  I didn't yet, as I was unsure of her year of birth.

Since it appears the information I posted was for your couple, I will continue to look around for more information.  If we can find her date and place of death, perhaps we can learn more about her birth and possibly her parents.

I do have to leave for a bit, but I will check back here in an hour or so.

It looks like Frank was living in Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa in 1900 with his mother, Mary J Quigley, and sister, Catherine (as well as with other siblings).  Mary was widowed.

This time, it is stated that he was born in December 1887.

You may already have this information, but I'm hoping somewhere along the line, I'll find a clue that will lead us to Maude.

Hi,

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I thought I'd throw it out.

A Frank E. Quigley marries a Anolda Bertina Iverson July 11, 1910 in Vancouver, states he was born Iowa & parents are Wm. C. Quigley & Mary J Headdy.

Margaret Byrde (perhaps Birdie on the 1900 USA census?) marries an Alfred Timmins Apr. 19 1902 Iowa, her parents are the same as above.

1910 census for Albia (same as attestation papers?) Ward Monroe Iowa:
A Mary J & Lillian G. Quigley are living with Alfred & Bidela (maybe Birdie?) Timonds, Mary J. is listed as mother in law & Lillian as sister in law

This is all from the familysearch.org site.

Cordially,
Lisa
