Here's the next set with a real puzzler included: Charles B, age 22, born ca 1887, 25th Ward, Chicago, Cook, IL. Roll 268, part 1, pg 10B. married 1 yr, he and parents born MO, salesman lumber company. Wife: Laveta, 20, born MO, father born LA, mother born MO. This would be Charles Bartley Gorin, son of Ernest Bartley Gorin Sr, of the Henry Gorin line. Geneva Gorin, Inmate, 17, single, born TN, parents born KY, Chicago Refuge Home for Girls on Indiana Ave in Chicago. 6th Ward, Roll 246, part 2, pg. 38a. I've done a websearch and this was an benevolent institution for possibly several categories: wayward girls, unwed mothers, abused children (fathers who were alcoholics or mothers who could not care for the children etc). I have only one Geneva Gorin on file who is a mystery. She was the daughter of William H Gorin and unknown (or no wife). He was born in Warren Co KY in 1867; he the son of Thompson B Gorin and Emily Runner; grandson of John Henry Gorin; great-grandson of Gladin and Nancy Hinch Gorin. I have no data on her but this Geneva would have been the right age to be the dau of William H. I wonder what happened? Edward B Gorin, age 44, born ca 1865 MO, 7th Ward, Chicago, Cook, IL. Series T624, Roll 247, part 2, page 228B. Wife Edith (Lynott), 43, she and parents born MO. Son Frank 16, who worked at a steel works; son Edward 14; son Clifford 10 and Mrs R J Gorin, his mother, age 63. This would be Ernest now Edward as coded - Ernest Bartley Gorin Sr of the Henry Gorin line. An unknown who likely doesn't connect: William Gorin, 45, born ca 1864, 8th Ward, Commercial Avenue, Chicago, Cook, IL. Series T624, Roll 249, part 2, pg. 45B. Married 10 years, born KY, father born NY, mother born Ireland. Building laborer. Wife Rosa, 47, born NY, parents born Ireland. No children but list Ella as daughter, age 4, born IL. I have no "unclaimed William" except the William H above. Addie Gorin, Piasa Township, born ca 1855, age 54, series T624, Roll 295, part 1, p. 143a. 54 years old, single, born IL, parents born TN, farmer. Living with her was her brother George 60 and her sister Anna 52, both single, all farming.

Wife Carrie R, 3 children, all living, she born IL, parents born KY. Son Arthur James, 20, single, bookeeper at wholesale grocery. Son Gladden Gorin, age 5. This is George Washington Gorin, and Rebecca Caroline "Carrie" Gorin (born 1885) and two of their sons. The other son was Harry Clairborne above. Julia E Gorin, 2nd Ward, Washington, Tazewell, IL, age 71, born ca 1838 IL, series T624, Roll 328, part 2, pg 82B. She a widow with 5 children, 4 living, father born VT, mother born IL. Had daughter Elizabeth H, 48, single and dau Ella H, age 45, single - no occupations for any. This would be the widow of John Gladin Gorin (Julia A Woods).
