David and Jane (BARNABY) Taylor are probably buried in Portland, CT. Their son, John died in 1884 in MA in an industrial accident at the age of 37. On his death certificate, David and Jane are listed as being "of Portland". Any help on this would be appreciated.

I am trying to learn if the Mrs. MARY DESMOND (b.1830 Ireland) in the
1900 census for Portland is the same as the Mrs. MARY BRODERICK DESMOND
who was living in Portland in 1906. I recently learned that she was my
ancestor's sister.
She was probably married in 1859. I have ordered the marriage and death records from the Mormon Church, but that will take several weeks to arrive. Is there someone who can look up her marriage record so I can determine if her maiden name was BRODERICK? Then I will know for sure if she is my family. Jim Ross - Chino Hills, CA
