NOTE - Strangely this census indicates that William had been previously married. Judging by the ages of the children and that William and Anna had been married for 14 years, I think it is safe to assume that all of the children listed on this census were born to Anna. The missing 1890 census would have been a nice document that could have shown the existence of a previous marriage. It is not known if there were any children from that previous marriage.
