Henry W Straub Lydia Auman 12 Nov 1880 Book 31, p. 296

Surely the year here should be 1879. Normally I would not question an extracted record, but I have not found the WPA extractions to be as accurate as most.

2. 1860 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): Lydia AUMAN (æ 5, b. IN) is living in Marion Twp., Owen Co., IN (p. 211), with her possible uncle, Peter AUMAN.

3. 1870 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): Lydia ORMAN (æ 15, b. IN) is living in Marion Twp., Owen Co., IN (p. 292A), with her possible uncle, Peter ORMAN.

This enumerator was having a tough time; both his spelling and his handwriting were terrible. "Pelina" is Henry's sister, Paulina (STROUP) ROESCHLEIN. The big question is whether Henry and Lydia were actually married at this point or just living together. Or did the enumerator make another error, giving her surname STRAUB when she should have been surnamed AUMAN?
