Seeking documented info on who William Henry Sabean (b. 1830's) of Port Lorne married - was it Ruth Lewis or Ruth Wilkins or was Ruth married twice? There are records showing both names when it lists who the mother of the children was. Thanks for any help!

I think I was given some erroneous information as the PANS records certainly indicate Ruth Wilkins as wife and mother of the children. Looking at some of the online trees I see some of them also list Lewis. I suppose one person entered the wrong name and others copied it.
I was also looking for info on one of their children whose name we believed to be Annie May Sabean, b. 18 Aug. 1875 *IF* that date is correct. I am guessing her name at birth was likely Ruth Ann like her mother's but she got Annie as a child and it stuck. Not sure where the name May came from although she could have had 3 given names I suppose.
I certainly appreciate your help!

Her death record is online and says she was born in Port Lorne and was the daughter of William H. Sabean (not George) and Ruth Wilkins. I realize the writing on it looks like Port Home. The point I am making is that the census records show a Ruth Sabean born the same year so I am guessing that Annie's name was really Ruth Ann and possibly Ruth Ann May.
