(and married although husband not with her-possibly military service or hospital?) she is 40yrs old born Illinois, father Germany, mother Ireland. Living with her is a son William 10yrs born Illinois, father Kentucky, mother Illinois. Have you checked a LDS Family History Center for a birth record for William Adams? They weren't all recorded at the time but sometimes a delayed birth when getting Social Security card may have been. Or if he married a church record may list parents.
