Elva,
I found an "H. E. Childress" in Wilkes Co., NC on the 1880 census report in Edwards township that might be your ancestor:
Name Age
W. F. Childres 40
D. A. Childres 38
J. F. Childres 17
J. M. Childres 10
H. E. Childres 5
Thos. Childres 2
N. L. E. E. Childres 13
M. L. Childres 5
I also found him and Nancy on the 1900 Wilkes Co., NC census report in Rock Creek Township.
p. 10B
Name Age
Hirum Childers 26
Nancy Childers 29
Adlade Childers 6
Tilda C Childern 3
Dora Childers 10/12
Hiram and Nancy were married about 1891 according to this census.
His parents, Wm F and Dianah Childres were on page 4B. It looks like William was born about 1840 in NC.
I found the death certificate for Diana Childres who died in 1925.
I hope this helps
Ginger
