In need of some Help.?

Please help. I need information on a Carrie Woods born in 1864 or 1865 (that area) on March 1. She was born in Ohio. Her father was from NYS. I know she married a man named James/Oscar Harris who was born in 1852. I%26#039;m primarily looking for information pre-1900, such as blood family members. Any help at all would be much appreciated.

What does it all mean? Based on the information from the censuses, I would say that James Oscar Harris and Carrie Woods were married in Canada abount 1880 and had their first child in Canada about 1881. Do you know which part of Canada he was from? That would be the best place to center your search. If Carrie was in fact 16 when she married, you will likely find her parents in the vicinity of their marriage. ALSO, they had a child born in Ohio according to the 1900 census. If you can find out where in Ohio he was born, then you might nail down the are of Ohio where Carrie was born. This isn%26#039;t guaranteed, but it would be an educated guess. If James was a boat builder, I would likely check the counties and cities that line Lake Erie. You will noice that they lived in Buffalo, New York which falls on Lake Erie. A couple of Ohio cities that come to mind are Toledo and Cleveland as possible places to look. Some canadian spots on lake Erie are Port Stanley or Port Erie. Do you have any canadian connections to these towns? Any extra information you could provide may help us help you.








EDIT: I found a family tree online that has Carrie Woods listed as Carrie Woods DUSENBURG . It also lists James Oscars parents as James Oscar Harris and Mary E Bush. If this is the case, then this must be Oscars family in the 1881 Canadian census

This tree also says that James Oscar was married two other times, one was to a Priscilla Ann Moss and the other to Mary E Moss. Apparently, Bertha was the child of Priscilla and Harry and Elmer were children of Mary Moss.. IF this information is correct, then that means that Carrie and James Oscar would have had to have married around 1887 and if I were a betting girl, that would have meant that they would have been likely married in Ohio since THEIR first child was born in Ohio... Also, I would look for a marriage for a Carrie Woods, marrying a Dusenburg. It is funny how this research meshes together to paint a picture, isn%26#039;t it? If you e-mail me privately, I will send you the contact information of the tree I referenced. This gentleman may be able to help you out further.
