Comparing John Frank's age with Ellen's in 1881, one suspects a 2nd marr.

Thanks again - I have her funeral card and couldn't figure it out. She is on my mother's side and I don't have much there so that is nice to fill in another little gap....

Don;t know who to thank 1st !!
Never used this before and I'm overwhelmed!
Tovey would make PERFECT sense - thanks. Knew she was related but didn't know on which side she was - thanks.
Can I print this out somewhere?
