Maude Jones Quigley

[Lisa in California]

Kathryn/Catherine Manning (Frank's sister) was living in Ottumwa c1915, according to Frank's attestation papers.

Oddly enough, (Infant) Quigley, was born July 8, 1909 and died July 22, 1909.  He was buried in Ottumwa Cemetery and may be the only Quigley buried there.  This infant didn't have the same dob as Quigley Quigley, but they do share the same year.

How did you discover the baby was born in July? Thank you.

If you type Quigley, the only recorded death in that cemetery for Quigley is for the infant.

Checking familysearch website, the infant's parents were Geo Quigley and Jesse Barker.

Hi Lisa. I wanted to ask for your opinion. I started thinking about Franks sign up into the Canadian Army. I took his sisters name Katherine Manning (from the form) and did a search on it, I found 1920 census in Iowa. I then looked at neighbors, Eliza Foster had a maid Maude Jones, DOB 1897 age 23. She put place of birth Iowa, parents born United States of America. Do you think this could be my Maude Jones? I could not find any other Maudes born that year in Iowa. Probably a needle in a haystack. What would you think? Thank you for brain storming with me.

The 1937 Pasadena, California city directory have Frank E. and Maude Quigley living at 2401 Oneida, but they don't appear to be in the 1938 directory.

Do you have an obituary for Frank?  Occasionally, they will list information about the late spouse or give a marriage date.

Hi SherryQ:

I didn't notice a Maude living next door to his sister.  (I do tend to look at neighbours, but didn't think of it this time.)  While I'm not too sure it is her, it is certainly something to keep in mind.  However, this Maude was single, and I really think your Maude married Frank c1924, like the 1930 census states.

I still feel like there is more to be found.  With others helping with this topic, perhaps someone might find a clue.

PS  You mentioned they were married in 1904.  Where did you get this information? 

[SherryQ]

This was the 1920 census. Four years before Frank and Maude married. If I did mention 1904 marriage that was a mistake. I really think he married Anolda Iverson in 1910, baby was born in 1909. When he enlisted in Canadian Army 1915 he said wife's address unknown, probably he and Anolda had separated. Possibly he met Maude when visiting his sister. I do not have Frank's obit. How do I obtain it? Do I contact Seattle library s?

[Lisa in California]

You could try contacting the library, to see if they might be able to find an obituary.

I was having another look around, and looking at the California death index:
John Bernard Peters, born September 1, 1896, died May 11, 1986, Los Angeles.  His mother's maiden name was Beneke.
He was born in Iowa. 

PS  Where is Frank in 1920?
