I am looking for any information on Mary Ann Renner , born in Bavaria about 1847 and who married Charles Christian in St. Clair, Belleville, Illinois on Oct. 30, 1866. They had three children, Elizabeth, Barbara and Michael Francis. Information as to her family before Christian and how and when they came to the Belleville area would be greatly appreiciated.

Hi,

I have researched your family a lot for my husband is related to a brother-in-law of Mary Ann. I have all the info on the family. Mary Ann was married three times, a Charles Christian, a Brendle and another man. Go to the Weakley-Hanley Tree and pull up her name. She was from Belleville, but may have been born in Lebanon, IL (maybe.) Her first husband's family had mental problems and she divorced him. She married the second man - Brendle, who I think had children by his first marriage. I can't remember anything about her third off my hat. She moved to St. Louis after marrying Brendle and I think his death certificate is on-line with the St. Louis death certificates. You can email me at Bweak@comcast.net for information if you can't locate my tree. I have a lot on the Christian family some on the Brendle and his children

Hi Mary Ann
The only Mary Anne Renner in my Renner line is the daughter of Joseph Renner & Elizabeth Keicher. She was born in 1848 and died in 1939 in Greene County, TN. She was married twice, to my knowledge: first to Noah Bowers and second to Abe Conduff. I don't recognize the other named husbands anywhere in my family line.

Perhaps you have been researching another Renner family line (and there are many who began coming over here from European countrys in the 1840's and 1850's). Mine descends from Hans Veltin "Valentine" Renner who came into Bucks County, PA in 1732. His roots go back another 7 generations into the 1400's in The Holy Roman Empire, now Germany.

I wish I could help you.

Bill Renner
