I'm not sure where the William Garvey family moved to. Possibly some went to St. Louis later. Does that tie in with yours? We lost them when Delia Garvey(his sister, I think!) and her husband William Avery moved from Saline county MO to Garnett, Anderson co, KS in mid-1880s. Do you know what William Garvey's wife's name was? It is given as Nellie Hayes on the birth records we found in Saline co, MO - and their marriage record shows her as Ellen Hays. (Nellie was a nickname for Ellen back then.) We have info on their first couple of children, prior to the move by Garvey/Avery grgrandparents. If you think this is your family, and that we are related, I'd be glad to exchange info with you. Let's keep our fingers crossed that we are related! Thanks for responding.
