Question

Who are the parents of William Loftus?

Comments

I couldn't find his parents, but he died in 1913 in California.  His wife died there in 1919.

"California Death Index, 1905-1939," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QK91-B2S2 : 8 November 2017), William H Loftus, 1913; citing 7567, Department of Health Services, Vital Statistics Department, Sacramento; FHL microfilm 1,686,046.

I could only find this index online, but it might be possible to order the certificate from California and hope it shows parents' names.

Ellen is on the same index page.
