FLYNN, MULLEN
I would be most grateful if someone could do a lookup for me. I am searching for a death date for a James FLYNN. He was born in Ireland and died in St. Johnsbury in 1921. His wife was Ellen MULLEN, and he had 2 daughters--Kathryn and Mary Agnes. All are buried in Mount Calvery cemetary, St. Johnsbury. I'm here in Kansas working on my genealogy. I ordered in the newspaper reels for 1921 to get his obit--unfortunately, I didn't realize that the newspaper was a daily!  If someone could get me a death date I would be most appreciative. Thanks-Karen Lewis klewis@salpublib.org.  (posted 16 Nov 2001).

MARIEN-MORAN-MARAN, BARNUM
Looking for any information on Mary Adelaide.  One record says she was married to Jehiel Richard
BARNUM about 1867 in St. Johansberg, VT.  On the 1880 census her last name is said to be Maren
and birth records spell it Morien.  On her sons death certificate it is spelled MORAN.  Mary was born
in 1839 stated "of St. Johansberg, VT."   On the 1880 census it says all in family born in Canada.
They later moved to Omaha, Douglas County, NB.  Her son, Louis Octave BARNUM's death
certificate says he was born in Vermont, but 1880 census says Canada.  Louis was born
July 30, 1868, but cannot find him in Vermont records.  Sure would appreciate any help in solving this mixup.  My e-mail is marmeelib@hotmail.com.  (posted 31 Oct 2001).

"Viliota;" 1870, "Betsey;" dies 1874, at Danville, as "Louisa (WOODWARD)

DENNISON
I am looking for the marriage of my gggrandfather David B.

possible that  Helen J. may be the daughter of Walter H. and Nancy Ayer, b. 1831.  Are there marriage records at that time in the county?  Does someone have a tie to Ayer family to verify this?  Any help is greatly appreciated. Sue Huizinga.  (posted 30 August 2001).

She must have died young ( can't find any death records)  He later married Martha
BECKWITH and they had my Grandfather Edgar PIERCE of Groton, VT.  Edgar may have had a brother, John C. PIERCE, who married a Mary WILSON in Chelsea in 1889. I can't seem to go back and find Charles Nelson PIERCE's parents. Thanks for any info you may have.   Jeanne
