Research on the Parents of Cora, Mary, and William
Location: Lincoln, New Mexico, United States
Surnames/tags: grumbels Walters cisneros
A research space for working on the birth parents of the three children raised by Dolores (Cisneros) Norman (1867-1918)
Cora (Grumbels) Gallegos (1884-1921)
There are no Grumbels, but there's a family of Grumbles in the area: Jefferson Davis Grumbles (1861-1891) and two of his brothers end up in the area. Jefferson and Stonewall are in Lincoln for the 1885 territorial census and unmarried, so it's not beyond likelihood that one of them would have been there in 1884. It's possible one was the father and just not listed as such.
Baptism record for an illegitimate daughter, Maria Emma, of Lola Cisneros: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSQY-VDTZ?i=58 United States, New Mexico, Lincoln, Carrizozo - Church records The birth year is cut off but the date is 10 Dec and the baptism date is 25 Jan 1885
The marriage license for Cora and Acasio lists her as the daughter of Dolores, no father given.
Mary (Walters) Forsyth (1887-1947)
Baptism record for Mary, child of Lupita Sanchez (Dolores's mother) and John Walters (her second husband) was found and is listed on her page.
William Sanford Norman (1892-1989)
While he's listed as a stepson on the 1900 census, that may have been simply because William's birth preceded the marriage of his parents by a few years (I don't think the wedding record for WO and Lola was located), but apparently that was common in the area. There is a baptism record for him as the child of WO Norman and Dolores Cisneros included on his page. (William's half sister Laura Baca Norman was born the month before, and baptized two weeks before him.)
