**this next entry is for Amy, daughter of Walter
I found her married name when searching for her under maiden name and she showed up at a 1911 Homecoming for Reading School. It listed her both under her maiden name and married name which helped a lot.It showed her and husband and daughter as from Hillsdale.Also attending the same Homecoming was a Mr. Ellen Browning from Hillsdale, and Mr. & Mrs. Chas. Skinner of Ray, Indiana.
BURLINGAME
Charles, age 37, born Oct. 1862 Rhineland, father born Rhineland, mother born Rhineland
Amy, age 36, born July 1863, N.Y. father born N.Y. mother born N.Y.
shows them as married 15 years, 2 children 2 living
Marie, age 14, born Mar. 1886, MI, father born Rhineland, mother born N.Y.
Mildred, age 17, born Sept. 1882,MI, father born Rhineland, mother born N.Y.
*****I looked for the families of Harvey Browning as well as for the Frances Skinner family, but did not find them. The quality of this census was rather poor, as the bottom few names on most of the pages were unreadable so they could easily be missed. The pension file for Harvey shows widow Ellen applying for pension in 1901 so he must have died before then. I would like to see the 1900 census to see if your Edna shows up. As there is no 1890 census for MI I couldn't find her there.
I also found the following enty for a Fuller family which I believe may be Adaline, sister of Jasper, Harvey, Walter, etc.
1880 - Cambria, Niagara, N.Y.
FULLER
Lyman G., age 42, head, farmer, born N.Y. father born MA, mother born N.Y.
Adaline, age 43, wife, housekeeper, born N.Y. father born N.Y. mother born N.Y.
Elma L., age 18, daughter, at home, born N.Y.
Frank G. age 16, son, at home, born N.Y.
Hattie, age 11, daughter, at home, born N.Y.
Burt H., age 9, son, at home, born N.Y.
Charles L., age 7, son, at home, born N.Y.
all children listed as father born N.Y. mother born N.Y.
**I have also tried looking for Charles Skinner in 1910 and later census for Ray, Indiana with no luck so far. There are townships named Ray in several counties and I don't know which is the one. I have searched through two so far.
I hope this gives you some moments of enjoyment , and I will keep you updated with anything new I find.
