karylyn on Family Tree Circles

I am looking for information on James Trimble. Married Sarah Ann Traster or Treaster. The family has it that he came from Ireland but I cannot find any information on him. Thery were not married in 1880, then there is no census for 1890 and in 1900 Ann already had all of her children and was a widow. The children are Harry, James & John (twins), LeRoy (my husband's Grandfather), and Bessie. LeRoy never said anything about his father, just that he was "no good". I do not know where he died nor where he is buried. I have hit a brick wall with him. Ann was born in Missouri, as were a couple of the kids, then two of them were born in Nebraska, but accoding to the census records, every 10 years they stated a different birth place for themselves as well as their parents. All of LeRoy's generation is gone as well as all of their children. My husbands generation is now the oldest and they don't have any information on James. Ann died in a house fire in the early 1920's so none of the later generations had a chance to question her about family. thanks, Karylyn
