Biography

This profile is part of the Blanchard Name Study.

Ida Selina was born in 1860 Constantine, St Joseph, Michigan, USA. She and her sister Ada Alira were twins. In the family, Ida Selina was called Addie as a child, her sister was called Ada.^[1] Both she as Ada attended school in 1870 while their brother James at 10 years old was already working on the family farm. According to the census, her sister Emma Louise was still living at home. Ida's mother was 53 in 1870 and her father, 57 years of age.

Ida Selina and John Wilbur were married 25 Feb 1883 in St. Joseph County, Michigan.

On 01 Oct 1885, John and Ida Selina celebrated the birth of their child Mable Hollinger.^[2]

On 17 June 1907, Ida Selina and John's daughter Edyth Mary married William Herbert Blanchard. Ida is noted as the mother of the bride on source. ^[3]

Ida Selina predeceased her husband in 1895 at only 35 years of age. John Wilber died a widow on on 05 Sep 1943 Constantine, St Joseph, Michigan, United States at the age of 79.^[4]

Research Notes

Daughter Edyth's marriage source also verifies grooms family members.

The census indicates children's ages should be listed for their last birthday. Ida Selina and Ada Alira's birthdate is 26 August and the census was recorded on 10 August which is why they are shown as 9 years of age on the 1870 census.

I can't seem to find online proof of marriage. I will see if we can upload from the family records.
