Hello,
I really have hit a stone wall and need help with this one!

I have an Ancestor by the name of Louise Owsianny aka Lawrence (family name changed from Owsianny to Lawrence). Louise Married a man by the name of John W. Mansfield who was born in Ohio in 1862. John married Louise sometime around 1893. They had two son's John W. Mansfield who was born about 1893 and died a few days after birth. A second son Earl Wesley Mansfield was born October 10, 1895 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Earl died in 1977.
Shortly after his son Earl was born, John W. Mansfield abandoned his family and took off. Louise later divorced John about 1905 or 1906.
I found a John W. Mansfield listed on the 1910 Federal Census in Newart, Essex County, New Jersey, he is listed as 49 years old and born in Ohio, he is listed with a wife Pauline age 32, they had been married for 2 years, and it was his 2nd marriage. His parents are listed as being both born in Ohio. I wonder if this might be the John W. Mansfield that I am looking for?
Following this 1910 Census, I lose John W. Mansfield, I was wondering if anyone out there might have a clue as to where he and Pauline ended up?

I do know that John W. Mansfield had a brother Samuel W. Mansfield. and that there Mother's maiden name was Deborah Ann Dangler, she was born in Dark County, Ohio. Deborah in later years married a man by the name of George McTier. Deborah died in 1901 in Bismarck, North Dakota and is buried at St. Mary's Cemetery in Bismarck.
If anyone out there might know what became of John W. Mansfield. I do not know when he died or where he is buried? Please contact me at:
