In Response To: Re: Help finding a family (Jeanie)

Thank you for the burial information on John and Cathrine! The burial for John in particular fits the information I have for him. I was wondering, in the cemetary record for John, you listed 32y,26d as his age. I'm assuming that's 32 years, 0 months, and 26 days. Is that right?

I was also wondering, do you know of any records that may give earlier information on John or his parents? A marriage record for John and Isabelle would be great.

I'm still trying to find John in a census. He likely died shortly before 1900, and I haven't been able to find him in the 1880 or 1870 census. The 20 year gap between 1900 and 1880 is pretty big. Last week, I did found this census record for Isabelle:
