Looking for any data on my grandparents that I do not know much about. Have the 1880 Federal Census for Christopher Bracken and wife Bridget Bracken who lived in Highland, Lewis, Mo.

Now Mary Jane is my grandmother. My mother always said she was born in Missouri but it looks like she was born in Canada. Don't know where in Canada the family lived. Also do not know the maiden name of Bridget. Know I have found on the 1881 Canadian Census that Margaret Bracken is widowed and birthplace Ontario. Her husband Christopher is not listed so he must have died. Have no records of his death, where lived or cemetery. Could this be my family line? It certainly looks like it maybe. I do not find a death for Bridget or Margaret Bracken if that is my grandmother's record. Is there a way to check this out with the Salt Lake history? I would appreciate any help in this matter.
