Or did he drink because she absconded?<br /><br />We'll probably never know.<br /><br />Good article.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484884075457514695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-43697077040486170822010-09-27T13:10:59.107-07:002010-09-27T13:10:59.107-07:00I have a quick question - how do you get your jpeg...I have a quick question - how do you get your jpegs (I assume) to enlarge when clicked on? (hope that is clear) - you always have great screenshots and other jpegs and I like the fact that I can see them full size by clicking on them and would like to do that for my blog as well (as I am sure many others would) but don't know how - thanks for all the great information and interesting items that are on your blogs (could not find how to contact you without just leaving a comment).Tessa Keoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146870113899850353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-51488683829440147682010-09-27T12:57:31.622-07:002010-09-27T12:57:31.622-07:00Hi Randy,

I checked the Genealogybank version and it is the Alta California but it is the "For circulation in the Atlantic states and Europe" edition. It also has eight pages in the March 1st issue compared to the four pages found in the CDNC Daily Alta California version.<br /><br />The information regarding the marriage can be found in the CDNC version on page 2, column 3 of Daily Alta California, Volume 5, Number 52, 22 February 1854.<br /><br />MagnusBokeslidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469753531833558609noreply@blogger.com
