I have census data on the above - and have googles and discovered he married Florence M. Mauzy Risk in 1908 i think. I have details on him given by GR freinds (on another look up) that have him on the 1870 census in Pennsylvania and 18880 in Sonoma Ca in 1880. He was born (I think) in 1861 in Donegal (there s another guy with same name but defo not him) - that's a good guess. Have managed to find her on a find a grave web site but single grave.

Trying to find ref to him/them post 1908 and to see if there are any refernce to children.

Thanks in anticpation
