P. Riley of New Orleans LA. (who is he)
I would appreciate any information or suggestions forwho thisP. Riley of New Orleans LA. might be and how he connects to this family.Possible family names would be Manning,orO'Rourke.
P. Riley filled out the death information for a nephew in May 1909 for John Junior Lee Garrison also of New Orleans. John was born in Obion Co. TN and was 40 years old when he died.He also worked for the RR in New Orleans.
John Jr. Lee Garrison married Sarah Rosalie Manning in New Orleans May 1898.On the 1900 census Sarah's mother ,Mary Manning (widow) and her other children were living with the Garrison family in Ward 3 of Orleans Parish.
I believe that Mary Manning was Mary O'Rourke born in Ireland 1855,I do not know who her husband was or how the P. Riley connects to this family.I suspect that the connection might be through the O'Rourke line, such as a sister to Mary Manning who married a P. Riley.
I've looked at the LA. death records and nothing has caught my attention or on the census records. I've seen several Patrick but they died before May 1909.
I know that P Riley does not connect to the Garrison line other than through marriage, so he has to connect through the Manning or O'Rourke line.
