Mary Cooms, Bangor, Maine 1814
Searching for Mary Cooms born in Bangor Maine around 1814.Mary Cooms married Alfred C. Badger in Maine and they had at least 10 children.In 1840 I have traced the family to NYC.
In 1840 Alfred C. Badger was in NY, NYwith his wife, Mary Badgr nee Cooms, and 3 male children under 5, and one female between 20 and 30 years of age.In 1850 Alfred is in NYC, NY in the 10th ward house number 131, and he is a NYC policeman.He is age 38.His wife is Mary age 36 from Maine and his children are George W. Badger age 17, a clerk, Jacob M. Badger, age 12, Henry A. Badger, age 7, Albert C. Badger, age 3, and Mary A. Badger, age 1.There is one son missing in 1850, because there were 3 boys under 5 in 1840, and only two over 10 in 1850.
I cannot find Alfred C. Badger anywhere in 1860.Is there anyone out there who could help?There are two Alfreds in the Ancestry.com file, but neither one is the right one.In 1860, Alfred would be 48 years old, and his wife Mary would be 46.
I have Alfred C. Badger again in 1870 in Kings co, Brooklyn NY, in 1870.His age now is 58, and his occupation now is Newspapers.His wife Mary is 56.They have 3 more children, Ada age 18, Daniel age 16, and Thomas age 13.
If anyone has any information on births, marriages or deaths for this family, I would really appreciate hearing from you.Also if anyone has information on census reports for any of the children I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks from Elizabeth in Alameda, California.
