Della was born in 1881, after the Census of 1880... and there is no 1890 Census (the warehouse burned down)... so, she is not found living with her parents in the Census.

Commentary
Della is a difficult ancestor to track down. Her maiden name can be found spelled as "Ford", "Forline", "Faulkner", and "Fortner"... and her death record spells her mother's name as "Marce"... a bad spelling of "MORRIS". Many members of the family remember her name, ancestors, and relatives as "FORTNER", and her marriage certificate has the name of "Wilma FORTNER" on it as her mother, who had to sign to give permission. (Her father was already deceased at the time). Also, her name "Della" is found spelled as "Delia", and "Dellia" in different records. Also, her daughter Victoria Irene had a nickname: Iredee -- which is spelled a multitude of ways in the census and other documents.
