First, I see in a previous entry mention of Grierson Morden.A William Grierson Mordenwas the son of George Morden and Mary *.He was born on 1 Jan 1849 on Canada and emigrated to US in 1879.He was married on 23 Dec 1874 in Fergus Falls, Ontario to Hannah Cheville.Theylived in Marshalltown, IA.He was killed in a car/train accident on 25 July 1925.
As to Eliza Jane Elgie, we may be talking of 2 different women, but their records have many similarities too.Both were born in the same vicinity with ages that could match.The ages of my Eliza’s children, Minnie May and George are very close to Eliza Morden’s two.Minnie’s birth place varies on different records: Canada, Missouri..If she was once married to James Cheville Missouri could be possible, as a number of his brothers lived there for several years about that time.If they are one in the same Eliza would have divorced in 1882 and married within about a year.With two small children that would have been her most likely option.She was granted the divorce and it may be that she remarried in Iowa or returned to Canada and was married there before coming back to Iowa.From other searches it seems possible that she might not have wanted anything to do with James.The children would have been too young to remember their father.If the Elizas are the same George Morden would have raised them as his own.Do you have any info on where Eliza and George Morden were married.
Your Eliza [born about 1858] was the daughter ofWilliam Morden and Anne Nelson according to the 1925 Iowa State Census.
I sent Nancy Scarrow a message about the Mordens.Apparently she wasn’t the one who put me in touch with the man researching the Mordens.However, she has some info and with others is planning to meet with a Larry Morden of Alberta, Canada, in May when he comes to visit his aunt.He might be able to help you.
