Button, Jenks, Clarkin
I am searching for information about my great grandmother, Ida Mary Jenks; born in Iowa, likely in Howard or Chickasaw or nearby counties. I am also searching for Ida's motherMaria Button. I don't know Ida's father's name. Ida married my greatgrandfather, Michael Joseph Clarkin and they had three children: Marie Ursula Clarkin born in 1896, Earl A born about 1900 and Thomas Lee born about 1905 or 06. Marie was born in Cresco, Howard, Iowa. Michael Joseph was born in Howard county.
Ida contractacted consumption (tuberculosis) and Michael moved her and first two children to California. She had Thomas in California and she passed away in 1908.
I am looking for any leads on Ida's Jenks family and Maria's Button family.
Thanks
