Mary Catherine Sickles/ Illinois (fm:Lucille Harper?)
Hi Lucille, (where ever you are? :)
I would love to have a copy of that marriage license record.I thought I had them figured out :(
According to my records, William had 6 dau's, no sons.His brother Elijah has 2 sons, neither married to a Mary.His brother Thomas has a son James Alexander Sickles married in 1890 to Mary A. Coleman.James and Mary appear in the 1900 Fayette Co, IL between William and Thomas.They show 6 children all living and listed with them, with no Mary!
1870 - Listed as James Alex, age 10, in Fayette Co, IL census with father Thomas, age 43.
1880 - Listed, age 20, in Fayette Co, IL census with father, Thomas, age 58, mother Elizabeth, age 57, and sister Angeline, age 14.
1900 - Listed b. Oct 1853, with wife Mary A. and 6 kids in Fayette Co, IL Census..(This date has to be in error!)
There is an older son of Thomas Sickles and Mary Fridley unaccounted for so it is possible Mary Catherine is his daughter but I have no records of it
According to my records Mary Catherine is the William's youngest daughter so Lucille's report confuses me :)
John

Sorry to disagree with your previous responder but Mary Catherine Sickles was the daughter of Mary A. Sickles, father unknown. This is documented in the marriage record of Amos Petty and Mary Catherine Sickles. William Sickles, her grandfather, consented to the marriage and certified that Mary A. was the mother and that Mary A. and the father (unnamed) were dead and that Mary C. was 15 years of age. Would be glad to send you a copy of the record and would really appreciate knowing what info you have on a sister Liz. Mary C. had another half brother, Thomas Carson, my ancestor. [email protected]
