Question

Daughter Frances Saunders married Thomas F  Lewis in NYC 1894. Names of granddaughters Josephine Alice, Virginia, Theresa, Evelyn, Grace. No records for Josephine Reno after 1894.

Charles Saunders arrived in NYC from Great Britain year unknown.

Answer 1

Dear G-Granddaughter,

    Here is a likely marriage record.  Is it possible Josephine was the widow BLACK when she married Charles Saunders?

"New York, New York City Marriage Records, 1829-1940," database, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24MF-CCS : 10 February 2018), Charles Saunders and Josephine Ryno Black, 28 Sep 1870; citing Marriage, Brooklyn, Kings, New York, United States, New York City Municipal Archives, New York; FHL microfilm 1,543,856.

If this is her, you need to check alternate spellings. Use her parents' names - Cosa RYNO and Ana Eliza SMITH.  Good luck! -NGP

Comments

Thank you. this is the correct Josephine Ryno (misspelled Reno) whose parents are Corra (Cora, misspelled Cosa).

Thank you again .You have been a great help which led to my discovery that my 3rd g-grandfather,  Corra Ryno, born in Essex Co. NJ, was the grandson of Revolutionary War Patriot Esek Ryno.

Dear Joan,

    I'm glad I could help.  Now you can join one of the lineage societies, like NSDAR.  And be sure to document your findings here on WikiTree so other relatives can celebrate with you! -NGP

Answer 2

Okay, here may be a previous marriage:

"New York, New York City Marriage Records, 1829-1940," database, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24ZB-XG1 : 10 February 2018), Robert Black and Josephine Ryno, 23 Apr 1861; citing Marriage, Manhattan, New York, New York, United States, New York City Municipal Archives, New York; FHL microfilm 1,671,673.

Next, I would look in the 1860 census for Miss Josephine R?no. Hope this helps! -NGP
