Hello,
I found Nicholas on the 1880 census. He was by himself and marked down as widowed. I found
their daughter, Daisy, with Amy's parents in Porter County. But, just 1 daughter, no
others. I did find Nicholas with his parents in Lake County, In. in 1860. The census
indexes are below.

His father was from Ireland and his mother was from Prussia, as stated on the 1880 census.
That is where the 1860 has them born.
Here is Amy and Nicholas' marriage:

Here is Nicholas' parents marriage record. He evidently married either a widow or a
divorced woman. I could not locate her first marriage.

On the 1870 census John and Mary Ennis seemsto have died. The younger children are living
with a Mathias Surramus in Lake County, In. The names are:
Mathias Surramus 55 Prussia
Mary 48 Prussia
Ennis, John 17 IN
Ennis, Mary 13 IN
Ennis, George 10 IN
I don't know if the Mary[48] is their mother remarried or a sister-in-law of their
mother. I could not locate a marriage record of Mary Ennis to Mathias.
Nicholas Ennis is in California on the 1870 census.
I hope this is what you were looking for and I haven't gave you things you already
know. I may search some more later.
