I am looking for a birth record of Eva Grace Spinney, born in June 1881 in Illinois. I do not know the county or her parents names. Does anyone have any advice on how I could possibly find a birth record or any information! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please email me at carmie1969@hotmail.com. Thanks!

What is your source for her being born in June, 1881?

1900 Census for Benton township/Eaton County/City of Potterville, Michigan. The 1900 census list month and year of birth. I've also found her on 1910/1920 & 1930 census (all diff locations) Her birth place is Illinois on all of them and the age matches up.

What is the nativity of her parents?

That is the reason I am trying to locate a birth record. I have no idea.

Excuse me, I mis-read the question. According to the census records, her father was from Missouri and her mother was from Pennsylvania

Carmen, There were Spinny/Spinney in 1880 Clark, Iroquois, & Knox counties but none appear to have Mo. nativity.

Thank you so much for your help. I have also found this information. I have searched USGENWEB for Clark Co. They have alot of information. I found Spinney to be spelled Spenney and Spenny as well. I've just learned that ancestry.com has added Michigan State Census records for 1894 last week. I am going to search those today and maybe find a clue. (Note: Eva Grace Spinney, married Herman L. Davis at age 15). Thanks again!

Carmen I read your post on the message board and was woundering if you found out how to look up births in Illinois. If so could you please tell me so I can look up my grandparents. My e-mail address is mauiandme@hotmail.com Thanks Kathy

Just an update since I posted the original message. I have found that Eva's correct last name was SPENNY and her parents were Adam A. SPENNY, and Mary Margaret WILL. I know they lived were married in Fulton County in 1869 and I found them again in the 1880 Census in Fulton County
