>My Returah (1842-1902) is married to my 1C3R, Richard Rowe WEARING. She appears, according to the census you read, as Returah and Keturah - no surname mentioned. I've puzzled about this in my aimless way for a long time, thinking perhaps it was someone's poor handwriting responsible for the variant.
>As this is the first time I've seen either version mentioned, I wonder if SKS could tell me if there *is* such a name as Returah, if anyone came up with the origin of Keturah - and (well, it is Christmas!) if anyone knows anything about the abovementioned wife of Mr WEARING.
