El Dorado County Research Request

WIEDER or WEIDER

Need help in searching for this Ruben's father. Edward M. WIEDER married Martha HUNTER in Eldorado County, CA 1850s, and had son Ruben M. WIEDER. Ruben was born in 1859 in Georgetown, Eldorado County, CA, but family, or no WIEDER or WEIDER families were in Eldorado County in 1860 census. There are BOHANNAN families (two) in Nevada County, CA. Need to find Edward and Martha in 1860, and Edward in 1850, thus finding his father. Edward was supposedly born in Illinois, but don't know what area. Please contact me. Am willing to pay for expenses, but I need to be made aware of the fees, ahead of time. Update I have found a Houghton household in Greenwood, El Dorado County, CA, with a wife named Virginia. There is also the mother in law of the head of house, whose name is M. Wieder. I believe this is Martha Hunter-Wieder, and that her husband, Edward M. Wieder/Weider has died between 1864 and 1880, the latter being the year of this census. If someone can help me locate, or suggest other sources than the 1870 census, I would appreciate hearing from them. I am trying to locate a death record of Edward so I may find his parents names.
