Lori, do you have a middle initial for him? There are quite a few Wm Martins and W. Martins listed in the 1876 Cincinnati City Directory. Here's Nellie from the 1876 Cincinnati City Directory: Nellie Ryan, dress maker, bds. 48 Lodge. Phyllis -----Original Message----- Looking for William MARTIN. I'm trying to establish how long he had been in the Cincinnati area prior to 1880. I should mention his age in 1880 was 24. Also tracking the woman that became his wife in 1880, Ellen "Nellie" RYAN.
