Surnames: DENIG, DENING, LEACH, ROMER
Researcher: David Boucher
Email: dlb613@mindspring.com
Date posted: Monday, September 8, 1997

Does anyone have any information about Mary Elizabeth DENIG, b. 8 July 1866, d. 13 Oct 1921 in Columbus OH? She married Albert LEACH on 30 Jul 1887 in Franklin Co. OH. I have searched the census records, including a line-by-line search of the 1870 and 1880 census records for Franklin County (including Columbus), and the only match I found was a "Lizzie DENIG", age 3, living with Elizabeth and Mary ROMER (ages 33 and 18 respectively). The occupation listed for the older women was "Prostitute". I was unable to find any of these women in the 1880 census, and I don't know whether or not "Lizzie DENIG" is my "Mary Elizabeth DENIG", but she is the only age-match that I have found. Her death certificate lists her father as "DENING" and her mother as "unknown". Mary Elizabeth is called "Lizzie Denig" on the birth record of at least one of her children. Is there anyone out there who has any idea as to how I can get any further with this line? Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
