| Transcript | Phila [Philadelphia?] Aug [August?] 27, 1890 To the Minister or Rector of Lisnakay [Lisnaskea?] Church Dear Sir Will you be so kind to hunt the Marriage Records of the Church for the marriage [of?] Jane Scott the daughter of George and Jane Scott who was joined in wedlock to James Cox by the Reverend Mr. Hurst about the year 35 or from that up to 1840 as near as we can recollect. The reason we want the record of the Church and the seal attached is that during the late War between the north and south she had two sons in the Union Army and was killed in the service. Her husband died in 1880 and she is trying to get a pension for the death of her son who was killed in the war. Her marriage certificate being lost she has to have a copy of it from your church with the seal attached or it would not be of any account if you would forward the same to me you would be doing me a great favor [favour?] Please be kind enough to send it as soon as possible as it is necessary to have it as soon as she can get it and you will oblige me very much address Mrs Rose A. Cox 627 North 36th Street Phila [Philadelphia?] Penn. [Pennsylvania?] We hope to Know your name in the future and will give you the particulars and hope to get acquainted Please do not forget to have the seal of the Church on it as it is of no value to her without it. |
