To correct and continue on Dennis O’Halloran: I believe from census and burial records that his year of birth is abt. 1843 not the 1859 I listed. From the 1900 census I saw that his oldest daughter Mary was born in NE in abt. 1873. Last night I found a marriage record at
www.familysearch.org the LDS IGI search showing a Dennis O Halloran marrying a Kate Meagher (another form of Maher) on 16 Jan 1872. The search result was:

I think the record was found in one of these two sources: Item 5 Lancaster County, Nebraska records Daughters of the American Revolution. Deborah Avery Chapter (Lincoln, Nebraska) Item 6 Lancaster County, Nebraska records: Daughters of the American Revolution. Deborah Avery Chapter (Lincoln, Nebraska)
I also found a Dennis O Halloran in the 1870 census for Lincoln, Lancaster Co. NE. He was 29 so born abt. 1841. Only problem is the place of birth is listed as Conn. I still assume this is the Dennis I am after and that a mistake was made by the person at the rooming house who gave the info to the census taker. Strange thing is everyone listed before and after Dennis maybe six each way were all b Ireland.
Still hoping to hear from someone, someday.
