His middle name may be Edmund. His place of birth varies depending on the record:
-- his son, Walter's birth certificate states he was born in England; this same son's marriage certificate (completed after Daniel died) says he was born in Wales.
-- the 1900 US census says that Daniel was born in England but his father was born in France
-- the 1910 US census says he was born in Wales (English) and so was his father.
-- Daniel's marriage certificate to Catherine, which would presumably have been completed by him, says he was born in Paris, France
-- his death certificate says he was born in Lancashire, England
-- and an immigration record says he was born in France, crossed out and says England.

According to the census, he came to America in 1880. It is unclear whether he met Catherine in Canada (there is no record of his being there - not yet anyway) or in the U.S.

His marriage record and the census show that Catherine was his second wife but no information on his first wife has been found yet.

Since his marriage to Catherine, Daniel lived in Chelsea, MA and was a machinist with his last employer being the Magee Furnace Company.

Daniel and Catherine had 5 children together: Walter Oscar (changed his name to William Jeen West), Albert A., Ellsworth, Bessie Brooks McKurdy and Ernest L.
