FamilySearch record search: Neila Francis, born 14 Feb 1875, daughter of William C. Francis and Margaret A. Christmas (F195).

No record found for a Neila. The 1880 census (Roseville, Barren County; MCCM-9L8) lists a son Cornelius, age 5, born about 1875, and no daughter. "Neila" may be a garbled Cornelius or Cornelia. A Cornelius Marion Francis born 1 Sep 1875 registered for the WWI draft in Illinois; not linked. The family also had a son Patrick H. (3 in 1880) who is not in the tree.
