Phyliss, I'm hoping you can check your directories again for me. I finally made it downtown yesterday to look at the directories from 1884-1991 for Anna Wilkens. From there I headed to the courthouse to check for some marriage records. Wish I would have had time to head back to the library but alas, the school bell rings for parental pick-up. Could you check for a James and or Frances Sanderson in your directories. I believe you will find them on Liberty St. as well, 43 E. Liberty which may then have changed (or they moved) to 305 E. Liberty. James Sanderson & Frances Wilkens married in 1889. I think that Anna Wilkens was living with them, but none of the 3 are in the 1900 census. In 1899/1900 Anna Wilkens was at 234 E. Clifton which is the address her son-in-law Paul Beyer is found in 1900. It appears that Anna died shortly before the census, I suspect that both James Sanderson & wife Frances were also dead by then. Trying to narrow the time frame & place to write the archdiocese of Cinti. for information.

Hi Linda, 1889 (wives not listed): No James or Frances SANDERSON listed, though there are 10 Sanderson's listed. 1896 (wives not listed): James SANDERSON, lithographer, h. 1311 Baymiller. James SANDERSON, stone cutter, h. 305 E. Liberty. Anna WILKENS, widow, h. 305 E. Liberty. (be aware....you may already know this,... there is an Anna Wilken (no 's') also listed (at a different address). No other Wilkens are listed as living at 305 E. Liberty. None of them are listed in the 1915/16 directory as you probably would expect. Phyllis
