Well Diane, this took some time - hope you are still there :-)
First a small correction. Jón Guðmundsson was born 13 Nov 1829 not in 1831. His parents Guðmundur Thorkelsson and Sigríður Jónsdóttir had twelfe children, among them two sons with the name Jón. The younger one was born in 1837, what became of him, I don't know (yet). It was the older one who married Ingibjörg Solveig Halldorsdottir in 1861. She was born 21 June 1831 at the farm Gardur in Ólafsfjördur.
Jón and Ingibjörg Solveig farmed at several places (farms) from 1864 to 1876. In 1880, Ingibjörg Solveig was a labour-maid at the farm Kálfstaðir in Skagafjörður, then 49 years old and so was her husband, Jón, registered as "being at the parish", 50 years old, probably then already sick of leprosy, which caused his death 26 Nov 1884.Ingibjörg Solveig died 16 Oct 1899 at the farm Smidsgerdi in Kolbeinsdalur, Skagafjördur.
Hope this helps.
Keep in touch :-)
