Trying to locate births of these children. The name Ditchen is mispelled several times do not know the true spelling. Husband of Anna was Dr. Peter Deutchin or something like that.
1880 Louisville, KY Census, Jefferson Co., ED 147-10-11 Ward 11, 16th Street
Ditchen Tillie 22 born ca 1858 in OH, Widowed,
Ditchen Anna (Goss) b. ca 1848 IN, age 32; Widowed (questionable)Anna’s children: William 17, b. KY, ca 1863; Henry age 14, b. KY ca 1866, Louie, 10, b. KY ca 1870, Charlie age 8 born KY ca 1872.
Tillie is first listed in Census and Anna is her cousin. Anna (Goss) Ditchen b. Clark Co. IN is believed to be a widow but it possible that the census taker erased the check mark. If she is a widow, going by Charlie’s age of 8 years Dr. Peter Ditchen died between 1872 through May 31, 1880.
