Thank you April for your kind offer. I will keep you in mind. FYI, Annie's father was the famous Irish vaudeville comedian, John T. Kelly. John married Alice Davis in 1873. In 1883, Alice sued for divorce in Manhattan. And I never heard of her again, but have unverified info that she died in 1887, but don't know where or the exact date. May not even be true. I have never found Annie's marriage to Archibald Benham, Sr. about 1895 according to the 1910 Manhattan census. Or her second marriage to Asher Cohick about 1926, or even if they actually married.
Annie's granddaughter is Dorothy Benham who was Miss America in 1977 and now sings for the Hour of Power in the Crystal Palace??, religious songs, especially at Christmas time. What did Annie miss out on!!
Peggy
