I am trying to determine the parents of Matilda Cowling (1882 MI - 1961 MI) who married Thomas Hosking (1875 MI - 1961 MI). I think her father may have been William Cowling born March 1842 in England, who immigrated to Mchigan in about 1867. He is listed in the 1900 census, Michigan, Dickinson Co., Iron Mountain Ward 4 Dist. 60 with wife Mary born April 1840 England and daughter Christine October 1884 MI and daughter Kate December 1885 MI. In 1910 William, wife Mary and daughter Christine with husband William Hodgson are listed in Michigan, Dickinson, Iron Mt. Ward 4 Dist 65. (I believe daughter Kate married John C. Crago) William and Mary list their marriage as being the 2nd for both and that they have been married for 16 years. Therefore, wife Mary, may or may not be the birth mother to Christine, Kate and Matilda (if she is indeed their sister) depending upon whether the girls are going by their birth last name or the name of their mother's 2nd husband. In the 1920 census, Matilda and her husband Thomas Hosking are living in Wisconsin, Florence, Aurora Dist. 76 and Mary age 79 England is listed as Thomas' mother-in-law. Any help on this family would be appreciated.
