I think I have posted about me attempting to find Thomas A. Curtis but I can't find the original post.
The kind people here pointed me in the direction that Thomas married Susan Webb after Lillian (Clewes) Iredale. But I am second guessing myself that this is the correct man. Here's the timeline:
Lillian Clewes m Henry Iredale in Toronto Dec. 1890
Henry Iredale died 1897.
Lillian married Thomas A. Curtis in Essex, ON May 22 1899
On the 1900 US census, Lillian is in Cooks County, Illinois and listed as a widow.
Lillian married Harry Gill Dec 17 1903, using the name of Lillian Iredale
Now, onto Thomas A. Curtis - his marriage certificate to Lillian says:
NameThos A CurtisAge32Birth Yearabt 1867Birth PlaceLiverpoolMarriage Date22 May 1899Marriage PlaceEssex, Ontario, CanadaFatherJ H CurtisMotherLouise J Mackey CurtisSpouseLillie IredaleHousehold Members

and on the marriage to Susan Webb, it says:

So the anomalies are: my Thomas A. Curtis is listed as Alfred I Curtis on the 2nd marriage cert. and his father is listed as J.H. Curtis and mother is Louise Mackey on the marriage to Lillian and they are listed as J.W. Curtis and Louise Moxey on the marriage to Susan. AND as far as I can tell, Thomas and Lillian are still married to each other !!
What do you think?
