Wilbert Banks
Born: 1/3/1858, Ironton, Sauk Co., Wisconsin
Parents: William Walter Banks and Angeline Simmons
Siblings: Frederick, Alfred, Mary, Ira, Jenny, William W., Carrie
Marriage: 2 Apr 1880, to Lina Mellott/Mallott
Children: Alfred Caleb, Nora, Iris, Jenny (these names were submitted to the LDS site, none can be located in the 1885 Nebraska census or the 1900 CA census under the surname Banks) There are no Alfred, Iris or Jennie Banks in the 1990 census born in Nebraska in any state, so this information is questionable. The children may have been adopted if wife Lina died young.
