Julia GONZALES (1863 - 1928): Genealogy.Ravensbeak.Com

Name	Julia GONZALES
Born	14 Mar 1863 Houston, Harris County, Texas, USA [1, 2]
	Her death certificate reports 1863. The 1880 US Census gives her age as 18 at the census, suggesting a year of birth of 1862. But her husband was charged over falsely swearing as to her age when they married in 1880, so the 1863 is more likely correct. Her tombstone shows 1862.
Gender	Female
Died	25 Oct 1928 Houston, Harris County, Texas, USA [1]
Buried	26 Oct 1928 Forest Park Lawndale Cemetery Houston, Harris County, Texas, USA [1]

Husband	William T BLEIKE, Jr. (ID:I1910), b. 1860, Texas, USA [2]
Married	8 Mar 1880 Galveston, Galveston County, Texas, USA [3, 4]
	The Dallas Daily Herald article from June 1880 says they were married "the 11th of last May." I'm assuming that means May of 1880, which makes WT 20 years old and Julia 18 years old, give or take. If they married in 1879, that's more of an issue because Julia would have clearly been underage. However, the marriage license issued by Galveston County clearly states 8 March 1880 as the marriage date.
Age at Marriage	Julia was 17 years old; William was 20 years and 3 months old.[~] (They were married 48 years and 7 months).
