Emma is not listed in her father’s household in the extracted record for the 1885 census. It is possible that there is a problem with the extraction or perhaps she was living with her grandmother Emma at the time. Godmother Helena L. G. Krogh of Borgergade 138. Perhaps this was an aunt.

Notes:

According to Clifford Mohr, Thorwald and Emma were “christened in the same church in Copenhagen and only met in Chicago later on.” Based on church records, this seems to be in error, as Thorwald was christened in St. Mattheaus Kirke and Emma was christened in Frederiksberg Kirke.

Clifford Mohr’s birth certificate specifies that he is the second child born to Emma. This indicates that the “other Grace” was actually born before Clifford, not after William as originally assumed.
