I was just looking at your WorldConnect Renslow tree, and thanks for it.

Also, I have some marriages for you. Winifred Renslow m. Leslie A. Weldon 18 Jun 1897, Olmsted Co. MN -- the marriage index has her as "Winnifred". Record is in book L, p. 94.

They had 3 children. It's a little odd -- Leslie is in the 1910 census with the 3 kids in Seattle. I haven't found Winifred yet, but Leslie doesn't say he's widowed or divorced.

This Cora May Renslow and Minnie Renslow who I have must be the children you have of William Henry Renslow, Jr. and Sarah Page. (And thanks for sorting out who they are - I thought so but wasn't sure until I looked at your tree.)

Cora m. William Archie Clark 10 Feb 1913 in Olmsted Co. Record in bk. Q, p. 54.

Minnie Renslow to Fred C. Schroeder, 25 Dec 1913, Olmsted Co., bk. Q, p. 254.

I can provide the book references for Charlotte I. to George W Stewart, Mary to Minus Winthrop Gordy, and (El)Dora to Charles Graetz, but the information doesn't change.

Have a look at my Stewart tree (in my signature) for all the references.
