I made a great find today! I have been hoping to discover my father's great grandmother's maiden name for a while now. Matilda Tillie UNKNOWN Dingler Murphy. I wrote about her a few weeks back. I found her in another family tree today on Ancestry.com. I had not looked clearly at the 1880 census record that I had for her and John Dingler and their daughter Lettie. Tillie's parents lived with them in Kensington! James and Martha Ferguson (or Furgeson, I've seen it spelled both ways now). I can' believe I hadn't seen it sooner that another family lived with them. I am guessing that it was actually James' home, but for whatever reason The Dingler's are listed first.

This has lead me to locate her with her family in previous censuses. Martha and James are both from Ireland. I am not sure how I will make out finding them there, but time will tell! For now I am happy with Matilda Tillie FERGUSON Dingler Murphy!
