Marriage

Information taken from the marriage index. Copies of the applications indexed here may also be obtained from the Register of Wills office at the Lackawanna County Courthouse, the PA State Archive in Harrisburg (in person only) and local genealogical societies. The courthouse now has a computer index similar to the ones in the master index books which contain only the name of one of the marriage partners and the marriage date, rather than the return date.

Shared note

Census:
In the 1910 census she was listed as 17 years of age and living with her parents.
She is listed on the 1920 census with her husband, Charles Lesefski, and three children. She is listed as 25. She is listed as an alien although there is no year of immigration and her birthplace is listed as Pennsylvania (she was not an alien, but might have lost her citizenship when she married Charles, at which time she would have assumed the citizenship of her husband). Her father is shown as born in Poland and Polish was his mother tongue. Her mother is shown as born in Penn.

Her will was written in November 1956. In it she left everything to her daughter. There is a letter which she wrote to her daughter early in 1957. There is a notice of taking proofs of heirship and to creditors in regard to her estate which was dated October 30, 1957. Apparently she died between the date of the letter and October 30, 1957, probably shortly before the latter date.

In 1930 she and her second husband were living in Chicago (see James Adell census information), but the children were not with them. Where were they? They took their step-father's name, so why are they not with her?

The date of birth on her tombstone and the date of birth in her obituary do not agree.
