GO HOLLY!!

 ;D ;D

Now how fantastic is that we have his height!  It's the little things (no joke intended) that bring a person to life.  Not literally, that's voodoo.

How brilliant!

It's a weak contribution in comparison but his wife's address is most likely to be Grassendale.

Great stuff, Holly.

I'm especially relieved to hear he is not a polygamist!

I'm wondering, is there any chance that Alan might have been in USA on a trip during the American 1900, 1910, 1920 census nights? Can someone check them out?

I'm just thinking out loud  :)

Am in the middle of checking Burrow.

He missed the 1910 census. But am looking at 1900 and 1920 now.
