OK Mark, so on the photo of the grave did it indicate that Harriet ever married, or must she have died a spinster?

Had you known she also had a sister Emma?

Mark

Mark Report 25 Sep 2011 16:11

Great

I think the death that K found might be a different person (but perhaps a cousin as the name is unusual) as I found that person in a different census - birth year is different.

Are divorce papers online or not

There are a LOT of Mary Howards with husband John - if you can find out one of the children's names I'll see if I can find them on census.

Mark - regarding divorce, unlike our records which are all grouped together for the whole of England - each state had it's own birth marriage and death records, some listed divorces, some didn't. There's none on Ancestry for Utah, which is where I've got info from.

There are a number of pay per view sites that have more US records. Would suggest googling.
