Margaret McCaffrey FOUND!! Born 06 May 1860 Pt Dover, Norfolk Co, Ontario, Canada; died 23 Jan 1933 Hamilton, Wentworth Co, Ontario. Md MICHAEL GALLAGHER (b. 1853) 02 Aug 1880 in Simcoe, Norfolk County. They lived 3-4 yrs in Simcoe and had two children there: Pauline b. 1881, and Mary Lena, b. 1883. Then the family moved to Hamilton and had 6 more children: Margaret b & d. 1885, Patrick Parnell b. 1888, Josephine b. 1890, John b. 1894, twins Kathleen and Rose b. 1897. Michael Gallagher was a shoe maker and had a shoe & boot making business in Hamilton. He was the son of Patrick & Annie Gallagher. Pauline md Arthur Wilson Goodale 1913 in Hamilton; Arthur was b. 1883 in Hamilton. Mary Lena md Arthur Joseph Ryan (b. 1884) 1910 in Hamilton. Parnell md Marie Alberta Stuart in 1945 in Holy Rosary Church (Hamilton?). Nothing more to date abt Josephine or John. Kathleen (d. 1957) md Ambrose McGinnis (1899-1961 Hamilton) and they had a daughter Patricia Joan (1922-2002). Rose md Llewellyn Wm Mecredy (b. 1889 London, Ontario) in 1920 in London; they moved to Pontiac, Michigan abt 1922 and Llew worked for the US postal service. So far we haven't found out when Michael Gallagher died.
Might have a lead on Peter McCaffrey too. Found a Peter J McCaffrey, b. Canada 1863, in 1910 census in Columbus, Nebraska. In 1930 he appears with a wife Mary (nee McTaggart from her obit) in Omaha, Nebraska; he is age 66, b. Canada, parents b. Ireland.City directory listings for Peter cease by 1939: did he died then? but for Mary they go on. Mary and a friend Margaret established a dressmaking business downtown in the Paxton Block under name McCaffrey and Schroeder. Mary (1884-1969) was the daughter of Tom and Mary McTaggart [1900 US census]. We need Peter's obituary to tell us who his parents were. So far, we don't have a death date for him.
Also --- the mother of Margaret, Sarah Ellen, Peter, Gilbert, Dennis and the lost baby Edmond - and wife of John, was Catherine SHEA [source - Margaret Gallagher death record]
