Administrator Denise 133 posts Dec 06, 2004 11:15 PM	Michael, I can only determine that they were in Whiteside Co. at that time. I would need a residential directory for 1886 to determine if they were in Tampico in that year, since that is between census years. I do not have that year and I'm not aware of one.The marriage certificate may give their addresses. Do you have a copy of it? "How to obtain original marriage certificate instructions" can be found at http://www.library.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/marrcopy.html Groom Bride Date Vol./Page License No. County BARTON, WALTER A BEIL, SARAH E 08/17/1886 / 00006921 WHITESIDE Perhaps Sterling Library would have an 1886 directory. Sterling Public Library: Jennifer Slaney, Director 102 West Third Street Sterling, Illinois 61081 director@sterlingpubliclibrary.org 815-625-1370 815-625-7037 Or, you could get Beatrice's birth certificate, which should also give you the data you seek.
