I am trying to locate the maiden name of my ancestor's wife in hopes that it will help me to find what happened to them after 1910. In the census of 1900, it says that they were married for two years which would make it 1898. They have one daughter who was born in 1899. I can't be sure that they were married in Benzie county but its the only place I have. If anyone is headed to the courthouse and would be so kind to take a look and see if they were married there and if so, could get her maiden name for me .... I would be forever thankful. Or perhaps the birth of their daughter might have her mother's maiden name on the birth record. Their info below:

Fred H. Graham b. 1873 St. Joseph county, Michigan
Carrie b. 1869 Michigan (she was about 4 yrs. older than him)
Margaret W. b. 1899 - daughter

Thank you so very much!

You probabaly found the information you were looking for ..
But incase you didn't here is what I found..

Mother of Groom: ---
Father of Bride" Peter M. Bristol
Mother of Bride: Rebecca Fuller

---- Dell Lake Anna

First name I couldn't read...
I hope this helps.....

In the marriage license of Fred Graham it did list his mother as Martha? no last name...But I think I found more info but the initial is B. Instead of H. which could have been an error in writing..

Frederick B. Graham
Born: Oct 10,1873 Fabius,St. Jospeh
Father: Hugh Graham Born: Ireland
Mother: Martha Graham Born: Ireland

I think these are one and the same
