Hey Annie -- don't think you got my last PM cause my computer had a tantrum from too much multi tasking and then I couldn't get back on line! Too tired to reiterate everything but will try to recap tmw.
Sorry to be redundant about Kings -- as you've no doubt seen -- I've been blitzing with everything in hopes of pushing forward -- to day was a good day -- the blitz worked. However, I forget who I've talked to. Sorry!
Are you talking Census images?? No need to send -- I can access Ancestry for everything American (but not UK) so if you find somethng just tell me where and I'll go find it and print it out. But VERY nice of you to offer.
I'm pretty sure I've been to the rootsweb site as I use them extensively. Also Colorado Clues--- I got several things from there as they focus on 1895.
I grew up in KS but lived in NM & AZ for years. My parents were into mines, ghost towns and indian ruins. Spent a lot of time in CO -- mainly La Plata/Durango area but north also. Do you know the Loews Giorgio Hotel in Cherry Creek (I think that's the place -- I worked on that renovation there in the 80's.
When did you come to US -- from Liverpool -- I assume??
I don't think Anna Moran was a madam -- but you never know!!! Family story is that she was a medium/channeler and supposedly made a living at it. Lots of stories about her in this regard. In 1910 Census in KCMO she lists a profession - 2 or 3 words -- I'm guessing shirtmaker/merchant?
. And that fits with Daniel being a tailor. So if you know any CO lore about a "fortune teller" could be her...
I need to mull over everything found today. Going to look for missing Martin in 1870 -- maybe with other missing Brother Matthew. Found Martin & Mary (the parents) in 1880 in Holyoke -- Martin still "hodding" no kids at home.....hmmmm had Daniel and Martin gone "home" to arrange for brides???
Will work on all this tmw -- think I need a glass of wine...I'm pooped but so excited about figuring Daniel out. 2 months ago I didn't even know his or Anna names!!! I'll probably be back at it by in the middle of the night!
Now if I could get lucky with the Fanning's --- a very COLD trail. Oops just saw mail ....maybe you???
Have a good evening!!!
Kathy
