Have you tried to find the family in 1850 to see if they were still in NY or had moved to IL? In 1860, they are newlyweds but have a 15 and an 18 year old (males) living with them and both have a ditto mark under the last name Warner. Are these brothers? The death certificate from the State of Illinois might give his parents names. Joan

I had a look at the 1920 census that someone looked up for you. I believe the children's names are W. Harry, James M., Vernon, and Homer, ranging in age - 9,6,3 5/12, 9/12. Perhaps one of the boys was named for his father or borthers. Tried a few combinations trying to find him as a 22 year old in 1910 and a 12 year old in 1900 but couldn't come close. By looking for the names of the children, you might place him in 1930. Joan in Illinois

Hey List, I am a little stuck, and am hoping a few of you might have some ideas for me. I am researcing Nellie Fox who was born Oct of 1890 in Illinios, according to the CA Death Index for her and her children. I found an 1900 census record for a Nellie Fox born Oct 1890 as an adopted child of Walter and Esther Fox in Chicago, Ill. Both parents born in England. Immigrated in the late 1880's I don't know how to double check this record for proof, or how to find out how/why she was adopted if this is her. Is there anywhere I can look/ask that might be able to help me? Any other place I can look that might help me decide this is actually her? Nellie Fox marries Fredrick Cox, and they have children- Helen, Charles, John, and Walter.
