We last found Mary Nolan in the 1900 US Census, where she was living with her parents, Thomas and Ellen and son Robert James. Here she was listed as being a Widow but lets go back a little first to see what we can find about her marriage or if we can find a record of one.
I have assumed she married Robert's father, Thomas Logie around the year of 1892 and so far have been unable to trace a marriage certificate or record. Thomas Logie is said to have been born in Michigan, this has been mentioned several times throughout census entries.
Thus this leaves us without any actual record of Mary's marriage to Thomas Logie.
It has been recorded in a census extract that Mary had 6 children with 1 living only and this morning I may have had a little break though in perhaps finding a couple of entries detailing the birth/christening of some Logie children to a Thomas and Mary.

These maybe some of the missing children belonging to Mary & Thomas, but NOTE I do say maybe and the repetition of the birth dates does not do much for verification.
Mary's only surviving child Robert James Logie was born on the 28th November 1887 in Minnesota, this birthdate is taken from his WWI Draft Card.
Taking the previous 1900 US Census information into account where we see Mary is listed as a Widow we can assume that Thomas Logie died somewhere during the period of 1887 - 1900. Though I have found no factual record of a death for him at all.
I will take a break for now and continue on with Mary next time. Time for a much needed coffee I think.
