Unknown Kier married Unknown Bigelow 1860's IL MO
In my database I have a Mary Irene Bigelow.She was left an orphan at age 7. According to her death record mother's last name was Kier.This is Mary's obit:
"Mary Irene Bigelow was born in Chicago, Ill., May 26, 1865, and was therefore nearly 59 years of age.In infancy her father died and her mother removed with her to St. Louis, Mo., the latter passing away when Irene was seven years of age.The child came to Manchester and resided with her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Alex. George, who gave her the love and care of a father and mother."
I also have this census record:

Willing to swap what data I have.
