i am searching for henry kness that was married to a benedictine(a) nagle in st. thomas catholic church in pointe a la heche, plaquemines parish or new orleans on 26 April 1858. all i know about him was that he had a father named henry and a mother named mary (surname unknown). his wife benedictine had a sister named josephine that married a man with the surname decker. henry's child was elizabeth kness b.14 Feb 1865 in Nestor, Plaquemines Parish. elizabeth married an edward j. cannon at emmanuel episcopal church in orleans parish on 1 Jan 1889. apparently elizabeth had sisters, because at the time of marriage she lived with a sister on st. claude st. in new orleans. possible sisters: frances j. kness (m. gerhard kahl) and catherine or katie kness (m. henry m. kamlah). any knowledge on elizabeth kness' father would be greatly appreciated.
whew what a long message!!!! thanx, eli
