I tried to find Ella C Garkey but I only could find an Ellen C Garkey who lives in Ogle, Ill. On the 1880 census Helene Garkey is 31 years old and spouse is Fred H Garkey Born about 1835. They have 2 children-----Elizabeth age 7 and Frederick age 2. They married in 1871. It also states that both her mother and Father were born in Germany.

I hope this is the person you are looking for. You did not give any information about where to look or dates. Some of the time, some census gets the name misspelled. I am not sure if Ellen or Helene was born in Germany but that would be my guess. If this isn't the person you are looking for, then maybe you might have dates or place to where I can start looking. You let me know if this is the right or wrong person. smith41
