Help Please!!

I need help!!! I have looking for the death place of Samuel and Sarah/Sallie Oldham for many many years and this has really got me baffled. Is there someone that has acess to Ohio co. WV death records I have dates just not a place.

A family bible has a death date for Sarah/ Sallie Oldham as 23 June 1887, and Samuel Oldham as 24 Dec 1892, but no death place

Here is what I know:
They were in Bellaire, Belmont Co., Ohio in the 1880 census.

On the 19 Jan 1887 Sarah/Sallie Oldham gave birth to Ruth Oldham. According to Ruth's death cert and an obituary in the Coshocton Tribune Nov 19, 1956 she was born in Bellaire, Belmont, OH.


I wrote to Belmont Co with all the death dates and they found nothing but a Samuel Oldham that died December 1, 1891 age 4 months and 5 days.

I checked a cool Belmont site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~marlaprice... and there was nothing there for my Samuel and Sarah/Sallie Oldham just the Samuel Oldham baby that died Dec 1, 1891.

I checked West Virgina death records at http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=0 lots of Oldhams but not my Samuel and Sarah/Sallie. I guess that site is not complete.

Some where I got some information about burials in Greenwood Cemetary Block G. Lot 45 a Samuel Oldham date unreadable, a Sarah Oldham 1840 to 1882 and a Archie Infant 1882.

Any one have any ideas? Can anyone help me please before I come to the conclusion they were aliens or they were beamed up by Scottie.
