Who is the Mother of Tommie & Walter Walton

Question

I'm having a problem with the years 1890 - 1900 in the state of Georgia, USA... George Walton had two sons Tommie in 1893 and Walter in 1897... Since I'm having an issue with not being able access the 1890 U.S. Census, or a Georgia Census from 1895 or anything in between, how would I find the Mother of Tommie & Walter?.

I searched marriage and death records, however I can find Tommie & Walter on the 1900 U.S. Census and years after that...

Most of the 1890 US Census was destroyed in a fire.

Thank you Frank for your input...  Estelle is too young to be the mother of Tommie & Walter...

My family on that side has all be laid to rest, so I cannot get the information I need from the living!  :-(

Answer 2

Marriage records and death certificates often include the maiden name of the mother of the married or deceased person. Published obituaries also often include the person's parents' names.

Thank you Ellen...   I'm having a hard time locating any birth, death and marriage records for George, Tommie and Walter...   It's that darn 10 year gap and the great state of Georgia that is keeping this from moving forward...

 

Thank you again!
