Question

I can't find sourced documents for Winnie Blizzard born 1833 for death, etc.

Answer 1

Do you have a profile id for her? What town, country? Any other family?

Comments

Her profile number is 408 and she was born in Duplin co, North Carolina around 1833.  She was the sister of my g.grandfather, Alfred Bryant Blizzard. She had 2 sons, William and Jesse.

Winnie was never married.  She had two sons out of wedlock.  I have found her in censuses but never found a death certificate, burial place.  Someone on Wikitree has given me information about her but not documents for me to confirm and source.  Thanks for your reply and assistance.

She was alive as of the 8th/9th June 1900, according to the census.

Per ancestry library (for my above statement) --

Twelfth Census of the United States, 1900 (8th/9th June 1900).  Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 1900.

I cannot find any indication for a death.  BUT, I also cannot find a 1910 census for her, which may (big may) indicate she died between June 1900 and whenever the 1910 census was taken -- or that particular census record may not be digitised, may not exist, may not have her name clear enough to be transcribed to something we would recognise.

I did find one ancestry tree for her, with son Jesse James, but not son William.  The tree is the Crumpler tree, and has her name as "Winniford Blizzard".  The only source attached is the 1860 census with her in her father's household, and a 7-year-old Jesse also there.  

Is it possible she had more than two children?  Could the girl-child "Repsey" (likely "Betsy") be hers?

I have had the very same dilemma with the censuses.  Yes, she did have a son William with whom lived with her and is in an earlier census when she lived with my g.grandfather (her brother Alfred Bryant) and she is listed with 2 children.  Winnifred is what is in my family bible. Repsey is misspelled for Betsey who was my g.grandfather's sister Elizabeth (Betsey).
