Hi Fred,
Do you know anything about Denis Sheehan (b. Ireland) married to Margaret Burke (b.1863 PA). Their daughter Mary Evelyn Sheehan was born Rockford, IL on September 13, 1888. It is said they ran a"family hotel" or boarding house. (I'm not sure if hotel was in Rockford only that Mary Evelyn was born there). Denis left his family around 1898 and Margaret and daughter later moved toWashington where Denis was rumored to have been working as a policeman or fireman. Later moved to Oregon and never found Denis.
