I am going to try once again and see if anyone has any addtional information on the following family line. Please write to me.
I am desparately seeking informatin on a Bridget Gibbons that married someone by the last name of Russell.
Person by the last name of Russell was raised in Black Hawk County, Iowa either in Fox Township or Barclay Township.
This is the information that I have thus far:
Bridget Gibbons. She was born in 1863-65 in
Wisconsin and supposedly a twin to Lizzie. The family moved from Rock County, WI to
Blackhawk Co, IA in 1865. They are on the 1860 Rock County Census but not on
the 1865 Wisconsin Census. She was still Bridget Gibbons on my great
grandmother Susan's (Gibbons who married John Hogan from Lester township) marriage
license as a witness in 1889. But Bridget was married and became a widow by
1903. She then joined the Sisters of Mercy and was stationed in Denver! I have
found her on the 1920 census there.If someone would be so kind as to look up information on a marriage license I would appreciate it. Russell passed on some time between 1899 or 1900.
