In May 1911, Thomas Francis Bathurst and Margaret Lillian Talley, were married in Carthage, Jasper Co., MO. They were living in Poplar Bluf, MO in 1914. Then I found Thomas and Margaret in Billings, MT, in 1942. At this time, he was a wire chief for Western Union Telegraph Co., and lived at Rural Delivery #1. I do not have a death date for Thomas, but Margaret died December 1975 in Laurel, Yellowstone Co., MT. Their birthdates were: Thomas January 4, 1890, and Margaret May 9, 1890. Margaret was born in TN (Lauderdale Co., I think).

In 1910, Margaret was a telephone operator. For the time period of 1914 to 1942, I have no knowledge of where they were, or who their children were.

Margaret was the only sister of my husband's maternal grandfather, and she was the youngest child. I know NOTHING about the Bathurst family, but would like to know more.
