Also found things via the YMCA and other diplomats' libraries. So now its a waiting game, as have info coming from Rutgers University, Vassar College, the YMCA, and a few other sources. You mentioned a sister Mary - I don't have a sister in the file by that name. The 1880 census shows the parents, Ransford, 2 brothers and 1 sister Adaline. Was Mary much younger or old enough to have already been married and gone by 1880? He only ties to my line thru his marriage to Lily Murray, but I am finding him and their daughter Lilian to be fascinating! Thanks for your help.
