I am stumped. I am a descendent of an orphan train rider and would like to persue the biological line of my grandmother who was the orphan train rider. She was born in NYC in 1913 to the above couple (Rose Kelly used the last name of Scott on the birth certificate) as a legitimate birth. This Rose even had another child prior to the one given up. However, they could not care for her supposedly and relinquished her to the NewYork Foundling Hospital. I have all of that documentation. I've been to NYC & looked at the films for marriages from 1908 thru 1920 which also encompassed the Bronx (this couple's first address in the Bronx, then in Manhattan). No such marriage. I have a feeling that maybe they were married in a Catholic Church, but I've called all these before I made my last trip there and the secretaries have given me negative responses. No such couple being married. If I can't get a marriage record I can't go beyond these great grandparents and know very little about them even. Any help from anyone? Thanks, Margie
