John Regan early 1900's of Lakawanna NY
I'm looking for information on my ggrandfather John Regan b:1855 Cork, Ireland, married in 1886 to Bridget Scanlon b: 1862 Kerry, Ireland...they were married in the US and settled in Lackawanna NY, They had 8 boys - Cornelius b:1886, John b:1888, Daniel b:1891, William b:1893, James b:1894, Patrick b:1895, Micheal b:1897, & Joseph b:1904. John Regan died sometime between 1905 & 1910 as his wife ubruptly left Lackawanna and moved herself and her children to Chicago and is listed on the 1910 census as a widow. Now my great Aunt thinks John died in some sort of accident at the steel mill in Lackawanna, but I can find no record of any such event. In fact, trying to get any records or assistance out of the state of New York is proving to be a real challenge.....any assistance or info you can offer would be most appreciated...Thanks!
