Hi that record you found for Lydia brown is not my ancestor. my Lydia was born 1865 not 1870 and her mothers maiden name was cuss and not Roder. Thank you for looking

I do think it worth keeping a note of Lydia Brown for these reasons.
Ages are not always reliable.
Mother’s name relies on the knowledge of the person giving the information.
I am not sure how clear the writing of ‘Roder’ is but it doesn’t look like the name you have either,
The daughter’s name on census and death certificate is very similar to your Julia’s name.

Here is Lydia in 1900

In this census her age is correct but her daughter is named as Jessie Smith and she is born Massachusetts with a father from Canada   ::)

However, the name is also a link.

1930 census both women give quite incorrect birth years also year of immigration  ::)

It is difficult but I still think they are worth considering.

yes her birth date looks right on her marriage record. Any signs of her parents death records?

Hello,
I can’t see anything but you can check yourself on FS.
They may not have stayed in RI.
If this is Lydia, and it seems to be, I wonder why she and Peleg travelled to marry  :-\
It might be worth posting the USA board http://www.rootschat.com/forum/usa/
referencing this thread and the information about Lydia.
