Well, you have a hard task here. The CADI starts in 1905 so it would not show your Daisy MOORE.
I am going to refer this to the San Francisco group to see if they can suggest a route that might help you.

Subject: Help -- Daisy Moore, wife of Harry J. Moore


Hello Sandra,
You recently helped my cousin Jeanie McKoy find some answers to our family history. Here is another problem area that we have not been able to resolve. This is the posting that appeared in the NorCal and I have not had any responses to it. I am not sure where to search from here. Do you have any ideas?


MOORE
I recently saw a copy of my grandparents' marriage certificate and it said that my grandfather was
"widowed", which our family had never known about. He (Harry J. MOORE) married my
grandmother (Ethel M. NICHOLS) in SF on 1 July 1905. Harry was 30 and Ethel was 20. Thanks
to the Family History Center, we have determined that his first wife's name was "Daisy". The 1900
census shows that Harry J. MOORE and his wife Daisy lived at 745 Golden Gate Ave., and that he
was president of the Sterling Furniture Company. I do not know Daisy's maiden name. I do know
that she must have died between 1900 and 1905. I also checked the SF directory and saw that she
was not listed in it but also saw that many wives were not listed. My grandfather was born on 27
Oct 1874 and Daisy was born in Aug 1874. Daisy was from IL, as were her parents. I would like
to find out the following:
--Daisy's maiden name
--Her exact place of birth. I do know that it was in IL but I don't know which county.
--Her parent's names. I do know that they were both from IL but I don't know which part.
--When/where Harry and Daisy were married. I assume that it was SF but it could have been IL. I checked Il., but there is no record.
--When did Daisy die? It must have been between 1900 and 1905 and I am sure that it was in SF. --What was the cause of Daisy's death?
I do know that the SF fire and earthquake destroyed many records but there must be some record of this somewhere -- at least I hope so.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Scott Polland 11 Feb 2000
