Can anyone help me find parents to William M Storrs from Illinois?

Question

William Storrs(Stoers, stores,etc) wikiTree profile Stores-19-I've found many different variations in spelling even among the family records I have found, He is my grt grandfather. Date of birth is around 1877-about 1916, married Zelma I Auner 1907 in Woods, oklahoma. I've found a 1910 census with his and Zelma's names on them, and a Kansas census 1915, I've kinda ran into a brick wall with him and Zelma. They had 4 children. I believe he lived in Nebraska during 1880-1882 for those fed and state census'.

Answer 1

The 1880 Census in Meachim, Illinois has a William Storrs born in 1874, but it might not be William Manley Storrs.  The census enumerator listed his middle initial as "H".  He was a child of William and Mary Storrs and there were several siblings listed.  Much more information seems to be available on his wife, Zelma Irene Auner.

I don't have paid subscriptions to Ancestry or My Heritage, so I don't know what they have on him.  It's also possible that an LDS Family History Center might have access to microfiche copies of census reports they don't published online in www.familysearch.org

Answer 3

"United States Census, 1900," database with images, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MMT9-V2X : accessed 23 June 2017), William M Stores in household of Luke W Chapin, Medicine Lodge Township (excl. Medicine Lodge city), Barber, Kansas, United States; citing enumeration district (ED) 9, sheet 7B, family 144, NARA microfilm publication T623 (Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 1972.); FHL microfilm 1,240,471.  

 

I think this is most likely him based on articles.
