Wesley Frank Mayfield & Margaret Nolan

Ada Mayfield's father is listed as Wesley Mayfield on her Baptismal and Death Certificates, Wesley F. Mayfield on her Marriage Certificate and Frank Mayfield in her obituary. However to date, I have not been able to find record of his marriage to Margaret Nolan.

Margaret, the daughter of Matthew Edward Nolan and Mary Nash, was born December 17, 1864 in New Orleans, LA. She died January 7, 1945 (age 80) in New Orleans. She remarried to Charles Henry Engler, a widower and native of Germany on July 15, 1903 in New Orleans.

The census indicates that Maggie is a seamstress and that both her mother and father were born in Ireland. It also states that she had 3 children, only one of which was living at the time of the census.
