Looking for any Tennyson/Tinnesen's from Illinois, Nebraska, or Colorado

I've have been pain stakingly looking for my Tinnesen/Tennyson ancestors in the Unites States and I am hoping somebody may have additional leads.

My G-G-Grandmother was a Anna Marie Tinneson from Schleswig b. 15 Aug 1863. her family immigrated to the US in 1872 with a final destination of Chicago, IL. Anna eventually married to a Soren Hans Madsen of Denmark and lived in Elk Creek, Custer, Nebraska from about 1885 - 1905.

Anna's parents where Christen Tinnesen b. 23 Nov 1838 and Anna Maria Christensen Schmidt b. 19 Jan 1838. She also had 3 other siblings Hans Christian Tinnesen b. 6 Feb 1858, Christian Tinnesen b. 28 Feb 1861, and Helene (Helen) Tinnesen b. 21 Apr 1867. This entire family immigrated together in 1872.

I was able to find Anna's brother Christian Tennyson (Tinnesen) living in Kane county, IL in the early 1900's, He had one son William Tennyson born Oct 1884 in Colorado so he may have been working in Leadsville for some time.

My main goal is to find Anna's parents Christen and Anna Tinnesen/Tennyson and where they lived in the late 1800's. I have searched far and wide through the Census' with no luck. Any informatioin would be greatly appreciated.
