Help finding William O'Donnells death

[Revolution]

Thanks. I had the 1940 one where she lived with her mother, sister and mother in law but hadnt seen the other one.

Yes Druselle married a man named Clinton Crawford then one named Joseph Henry Gast. Her second marriage she had at least 2 kids including Alice Petry Gast although I dont have the birth dates for them all to determine which children are Druselles. Her obituary says she was survived by 3 daughters but I dont know if that includes her step children even though the obit says 3 d aughters and 2 stepdaughters. Joseph had a few kids with his first wife who died in 1953.

William had many brothers and sisters.  Have you not been able to find information on any of his siblings who may now also be deceased?

The 1929 Houston city directory lists Delia O'Donnell (widow of William), Delma, and Druselle living at 532 Euclid Avenue, so I guess Delia and William split up by then.

The obituary for William's mother from 4 Jul. 1939 says she was survived by, among others, son William O'Donnell of New York.

Hi Knort33

Its an interesting family. His sister Rebecca was the family historian but she didnt have the idea to rcord dates of people. She also missed the second marriage of her grandmother. She didnt have any kids. Williams other sister also didnt have any kids and appears to have married 2-3 times and his brother Im hoping to find some kids but his wife he married when he was late in life he didnt have any kids with and none of their family know if he was married beforehand or had kids. Unless William remarried it is likely the USA O'Donnells of this generation are the last to bear the surname.

His siblings:

Rebecca Plymouth O'Donnell married Frank Ray Sayre and Britton Teston
Taranaki (Terry) O'Donnell married Evelyn Kelly
Hawera O'Donnell married? Charles Reynolds and George Finch. She lived in a common law relationship/defacto with Richard Givens

Sadly despite a lot of searching I have not found anything more about William Opunake O'Donnell.

There is a William O'Donnell who died in 1971 in the US Consulate in Dublin Ireland but not way to identify if this was him. It would have been a career change from travelling salesman.

I suspect that his middle name has been left out of any death record making it more difficult to narrow down the right William O'Donnell

Any more help would be gratefully appreciated

What career change? William O'Donnell wouldn't have died in the U.S. Consulate in Dublin- that just means that his death was reported to the U.S. Consulate in Dublin so he probably died in Ireland (either on holiday or resident in Ireland).

Thanks aghadowey. I know that his siblings visited their grandmothers family in Ireland. Perhaps thats a link. Are records from 1971 able to be ordered?
