* 1885 John Cleveland Worley

* 1895 Addie Emmaline Worley
* 1896 Addie Emmaline Worley (is she a duplicate of Addie? or did Addie die young)
* 1898 Matilda Mae Worley

Queries
1) She died in 1946 but was buried in 1931
2) she married James WORLEY in 1932 but had children with him from 1881
3) she had Anthony when she was only 7

Can anyone add any source documents for the dates on this family?

Based on those
* marriage date should be 10/12/1892 rather than 1932
* death date is 19/2/1946, so I will remove the burial date of 1931

I have found the following records
* 1880 US Census (Henry SPRINGMEYER 32, Laura 28, Tony 6, Mary E 3, Annie M 1)

Internet trees have him born 25/1/1873 Covington to Henry Anthony SPRINGMEYER (1850-1900) and Laura WHALEY (1852-1918)

The following are not the same person

* Laura WHALEY - mother of Anthony SPRINGMEYER - she was 28 in 1880 census
* Laura WORLEY nee STILLS - she was 15 in 1880 census

I will seperate them on Geni.
