The following is from Wapello county marriage records:

George Theunissian married Mary Cogley on 6 Nov 1889C.J. Tennyson married Catherine Schmitz on 2 Jan 1906
Cornelius H. Tennyson married Alice Renfrew on 26 Feb 1908
J.H. Tennyson married Cordelia Chenowith on 27 Oct 1897
William H. Tennyson married Anna Kincaid on 14 Feb 1906
Anna Tennyson married Andrew Lames on 26 Jan 1898
Hannah Tennyson married Samuel Leeling on 24 Set 1878
Katie Tennyson married David Marsh on 28 Sep 1897.From Wapello county WPA records:
Theunissan, Henry, 1843-1913
Theunissan, John, 1866-1921
Theunissan, Joseph, 1868-1911
Tennyson, Catherine 1877-1923
Tennyson, Dora (Mrs. John), died May 6, 1907 aged 66
Tennyson, John. died August 1, 1908 aged 75All the above are buried in Calvary cemetery.
Tennyson, Cordelia, 1874 - February 22, 1907 buried in Ottumwa cemetery.
The fact that the Tennyson/Theunissan families are buried in Calvary would indicate that they were Catholic and, therefore, there may be additional information located in the records of St. Mary's Catholic Church or one of the other Catholic churches in Ottumwa. If you would contact Mary Lannigan, who is a frequent contributor to this board, she has the records of St. Mary's and would probably be more than happy to do a look-up for you.
There are Tennyson family members still located in Ottumwa. They are a very well-known family. I don't know if they have done any genealogical work, but I don't think they would care if you contacted them and asked.
