Wetzel Co; and Mattie Swiger, 20 (consent), b. & res. in Wetzel Co. The marriage license was issued on Feb 20 1906, but there was no minister's return or endorsement to indicate that the marriage ever took place. However, the 1910 Census showed them as a married couple residing in Doddridge County, with length of marriage four years. MR p. 436. (24) 1910 Census, Doddridge County, WV (Grant District). (25) Headstone. Event Notes Note (1) Birth date on headstone is 1848, while her death record states 1846. But the 1900 Census shows it as March 1845. Note (2) Age 38 in her 1918 marriage record was understated by 14 years, probably because her husband was so much younger than her. Age 22 in her 1889 marriage record conformed to her actual age. The 1900 Census shows her age as 33, b. July 1866, while her death record states Jul 22 1865, Note (3) Birth date has been reported as Jan 20 1869. But she was not in the 1870 Census, and her age in 1880 was 8. Note (4) Britton Rest Home Note (5) Birthplace given in death record as Wetzel County, but in marriage record as Doddridge Count.
