Also........the address he gives on the letter he writes is Jackson St, San Francisco. Of course that doesn’t exist now and is the backyard of theSprekels Mansion.

This lot are always doing devious things. My convicts are so much easier......lol

Now that I've typed that letter and taken it in properly, I see that the Jackson St. address is a place where the two of them (Kirkby and Bessie) stayed during the unfolding of the earthquake with its many aftershocks. They were taken in by a friend of a friend, so that address won't help I don't think. The city directories are potentially more useful.

This, however, is interesting. Did you have this, Libby?
28 November 1896 Mrs. D.K. Farr arrives NYC from Southampton en route to SF "intending protracted sojourn". She's in 2nd Cabin heavily laden with 6 pieces of luggage (all but 2 others on the page have 1 to 5 pieces; those other 2 are a valet and a physician).
Line 21:

Mrs. D K Farr 28/11/1896 1851 45 Female Southampton, England St Paul New York, New York, USA

I apologise if it is Kate. I could not find it anywhere but had a feeling someone had done it before. I could not remember.
Since then, I’ve had sepsis and cancer and my memory is absolutely stupid.
I did search through here and my emails as I was sure it had been deciphered previously, but couldn’t find it.

I’ve been off my drugs for the past month and getting my brain back together. Unfortunately the oncologist wants me back on them next week so trying to consolidate my research prior to being stupid again.

I do wonder if she is married and he is not. Unfortunately I have no idea of her maiden name or any other info on her.

I was just pointing out they were claiming different marital statuses. Also they were not recorded one after the other which is unusual for couples and families.

I cannot find a marriage, and David came from Sydney to US. Also they say on 1900 census they are married 20 years. In 1910, it’s 26 years.

Also David puts a wrong date of birth on the census.

Given he is a lawyer I'd guess they aren't married. Maybe she was married and divorce wasn't a thing around the time they may have started their relationship so they just made up a date each census.

Given the Ariel blood they are not going to make things easy or they may have just burned down the church where they did marry lol
