• Notes

  In 1891 Census there is an Ellen Harper grand-daughter to Joseph & Mary Woodburn . Obviously she must be daughter of one of Joseph's daughters. Looked for birth of Ellen and found Mary Ellen in 1880 Then looked for Harper-Woodburn marriage before that Found Mary Woodburn marrying James Harper
