Howard Howley & Mary Williams Marriage Certificate June 1st, 1911

The witnesses to the ceremony were Grandma Howley's Brother (Thomas Williams) and Hattie Purdy who was their future Son-in-law's Mother.  Think about that for a moment.  Their future son-in-law's mother.  They must have been good friends and then their future daughter and son got married.  Their son-in-law was Raymond Baker who married their Daughter Margaret Louise Baker (Aunt Peggy).

Howard Patrick Howley & Mary Marcella Williams

This Blog is dedicated to our ancestors Howard Patrick Howley and Mary Marcella Williams.  It would be nice if their decendants at least knew of each other.  We are all second or third cousins and share a common ancestory.  Lets get to know each other and maybe we share common traits obtained from Howard or Mary.  Mary is my grandmother and I knew her quite well.  She lived for many years with my Aunt Helen Panis in Clifton Park, New York, where I lived.
