The christian name of Mrs. A. E. Mau from Wisconsin

[Ashnz]

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to discover the christian name and maiden name of a Mrs. A. E. Mau from I think Wisconsin. Mau is the married surname and A. E. the initials of her husband's first and middle name. I know Mrs. Mau was a Striddle as she a sister, a Miss Margaret Elizabeth Striddle who became married as Mrs. Margaret Elizabeth Prebensen and was well known for being called Elizabeth or Maggie. Mrs mau also had a brother August, a father August and a mother Margaret. It is likely she was from Neenah.

Any help finding her christian name would be wonderful.

With my kindest regards

Ashley

Just some more information; Margaret Elizabeth Striddle was born on the January 28,1870 in Neenah.

OK, here is that family in 1880.  There is a sister named Lena born about 1864 in Wisconsin.

Marriage details?  Possible mistranscription of Mau as 'Mare'.
