- Marriage (1): Robert W. Renton on 12 June 1889 in Detroit, MI 1 2
- Died: After 1 June 1910
 General Notes:
After her first husband, Robert W. Renton, died sometime between 1900 and 1910, Marion was remarried to Arthur E. Bolms on 27 Apr 1911 in Chicago, Illinois. Arthur Bolms died in 1925 and is buried in Hillside, Cook County, Illinois next to what appears to be his first wife, Emma J. Bolms.
Marion Elizabeth Megford, does not appear to be buried there with Arthur Holms and presumably was buried with her first husband, Robert Renton, back in Detroit, Michigan. The gravestones for either have not been located.
There is a gravestone in Vero Beach, Florida for Marion E. Renton, born 1867 and died 1961. There are no other Rentons buried there. It is not known if this burial was Marion Elizabeth Megford.
