Hello, I am looking for information on the following people.
George Langford was born In England abt 1825/1830. He married #1 Mary Ann Wallis. He and his First wife , Mary Ann(Wallis)Langford (and a young daughter)migrated to Canada first, had another daughter.They ,then, migrated to Tuscola,Tuscola co,Michigan , where Mary Ann (Wallis) Langford died shortly after giving birth to a third child, a girl, who died shortly after as well.They are both buried in Tuscola co, Michigan.
George Langford then took his two little girls back to England to live with his wife's parents. George Langford came back to Tuscloa, Tuscola co, Michigan where he married Rachel Stewart.They migrated to Hardin co , Iowa along with her parents. He must of gone to live with his son, Henry Langford and family in Milford, Hardin co Iowa after Rachel(Stewart) Langford died?

Spirit Lake Public Library Cemetery Records
The Friends of the Spirit Lake Public Library, in order to facilitate genealogy research for the library’s patrons, committed themselves to a cemetery index project for the cemeteries of Dickinson County. Although it has been a tedious process, we are making progress and are continuing to work. Volunteers have contacted cemetery caretakers for existing records. In addition to that, volunteers have walked the area cemeteries to record information. >
