Being a researcher for my family history often yields many diverse roads. I have been looking for the parents of Olive Drinkwine b. 1877 who married Fred St. John. Henry/Olive Drinkwine has been one of those diverse bumpy roads. I want to share what I have learned. US Census 1880: Drinkwine, Henry and Olive ages 23 and 24 respectively. Two children listed: Olive b. 1877 and Joseph, b 1879. These were the people I have been looking for. Family obituary stated Olive (Drinkwine) St. John d. 28 Dec. 1958. This obituary listed three sons, William H., Frederick L. and Purley A. St. John and two daughters, Dora Ball and Frances Balthazar and two brothers David and Louis Drinkwine. The sons and daughters matched with my family research. Further searching resulted in Olive Drinkwine and Henry having the following children: Emily, Henry A., Clara O., David J., Jeffrey J., Louise P., Ida, Cecilia P., Louis P., Celia, and William J. Now - some of these names match up with the obit of my Olive (Drinkwine) St. John, but the crutch was I could not find any Census listing all the children of Henry and Olive. Next step discovered was Henry had another wife. So we have a Olive Skidmore and a Olive Gadoury. The family trees I looked at always listed Olive Skidmore first and Olive Gadoury second giving the impression that this was the order in which Henry married these women. (From my experience wives are listed in order of marriage). This was not the case. I started researching Olive Skidmore and discovered that Henry was her second marriage and she had five children from her first marriage. She and all but one child was born in England. I further discovered that Henry did not marry Olive Skidmore until Sep 7, 1924 (newspaper marriage announcement) Henry Drinkwine was 70 yrs. of age at the time of this marriage and Olive Skidmore was 40 yrs old. This infomation led me to a family group sheet on Ancestry.com and a family tree that listed Olive Gadoury and Henry Drinkwine and all of their children - 13 in all. This family tree included my Olive (Drinkwine) St. John and her brother Joseph and finally the dates of birth matched up with the birth, marriage and death of the parents Henry Drinkwine and Olive (Gadoury) Drinkwine. Olive (Gadoury) Drinkwine d. 27 Dec. 1921 and Henry then married Olive (Skidmore) Drinkwine abt. 1924. Olive (Skidmore) Drinkwine d. 28 Dec. 1958. My next step at this point is to obtain the birth, marriage and death certificates to prove all I have learned about the family and then continue to move forward. Thank you to all who helped.
