I am looking for several members of my Brockway line that possibly were in El Paso at the turn of the last century.
This is what I know:
1. William Brockway, (Lyman, Epharim, Joseph, Wolston, Samuel, Wolston, Wolston, William) b: 1852 NY; married Sarah Williams (James, John) b:1857 in MA; Children believed to be Wesley Daniel, William and Carmen (the last two based only on photo evidence).
2. William (& family?) went to Mexico in 1890s; William, Jr & Carmen may have been born in Mexico/TX. I know one son Wesley Daniel Brockway b:1878 (my GF) in NY, married Lucina Estrada in Cardenas, San Luis Potosi, Mexico in 1898.
3. William marries 2nd wife Delfina in Mexico in 1910
4. A Sadie/Sarah Brockway, widow of William, shows up in El Paso city directories from 1909 to 1912
5. In the 1911 & 1912 city directory she is listed again as Sarah, widow of William with a William Jr, a Miss Carmen and a Miss Sadie
6. I have not been able to fine them in the 1910 Federal Census.
7. I have an El Paso death certificate (Apr 9 1928) for a Lucille Watson, b: Oct 2 1915, Daughter of John Watson, b: NY, and Carmen Brockway, b: Mexico. Burial listed as Concordia - Cath, Apr 11 1928, I have not found census record for these either.
8. My grandmother Lucina and her children were also in Texas for a time between 1910 and 1914 based on family stories.

Would appreciate any fill in information. Would especially like confirmation of City Directory information with I have from notes I took before I had some of the names tied in. I do not have an address for the 1911/12 entries.

Does anyone have information of these Brockways in El Paso that would show that they are NOT the family I am looking for?

Thanks,
