My great grandmother was born Neave/ Neva/ Neve Loye or Loy in Jan 6, 1899 in Nashua, iowa. Is that near you? she is in the 1910 census with James Loye and Mabel Loye in Chickasaw Iowa. I found a marrige records for James and Mabel, and it said that Mable was a widow. She was married to James Loye Nov 1905. I am wondering what the first name of the Shannon was? How can I find out? The Nashua Reporter has no marriage announcement for Mabel and the Shannon guy ,but has one for Mabel and James. ....Frustrating. Please help. :) Thank you
