Nebraska Marriage - No further records, wrong name?

[tinkerbell5]

Hello,

I wondered if anyone can help me solve this. I've recently discovered relatives in USA and I have found a marriage record for a 1st cousin 5x removed. Elizabeth Wakefield was born to Eusebius Wakefield and Mary Ann Owen in 1853, Middleton, Warwickshire. The family initially moved to Illinois.

Record from Nebraska, Marriage Records, 1855-1908 states Elizabeth Wakefield married Florence A Turner on 11/08/1887 in Wayne County, Nebraska. I've re-read the record and the name does read as Florence - very strange!

However, I haven't been able to find any records for the two of them following the marriage.

I'd be really grateful if anyone can help me find them, or confirm the name of her husband!

Thanks in advance.

Can you give a link to that marriage record and also to the records in Illinois?

Florence is also a man's name.

This may be them in 1910:

Hi everyone,

Sorry for replying so late, I've been on night shifts

Thanks for all of your help and finding records, this has helped so much!

I had never heard of Florence being a man's name before, first time I've come across it. Thank you again!
