Sarah Ella Tidd was my great grandmother (died 1937 in Corsicana, TX). Her husband was George W. Tidd (died 1927 in Corsicana, TX) Her mother was living with them in Corsicana and we can't find what her mother's name was or anything regarding her mother
or father. We have old photographs that include her with the family, but it would be wonderful if we could find out anything about her or George's father.
Thank you for your help!

The Todd family I don't think is mine. It was the two Tidds that I know were my great grandparents. I don't know anything about the Todd family. After you filled in the blanks on their birth dates, etc. I was able to finally found the marriage certificate for GW Tidd and Ella Riley in Corsicana, Texas in 1886.
I appreciate your help so much! Thank you!
