Got it, thanks a million. Have waited so long for this. Will now try to find what became of Margaret, her daughter, how very kind of you, I am forever grateful.

You're welcome.

This appears to be Peter's death record - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VZPK-9QF  One of the city directories after Mary died said he moved to Newtown, so this is pretty close to that town.  In the Bridgeport Post from 9 Jan. 1962, it says services for Peter O'Keefe, formerly of Jones avenue, who died Friday were held at St. Augustine chapel and burial was in St. Michael's cemetery.

I think this may be Margaret's burial - http://www.rootschat.com/links/01jwj/ 

It's a subscription site, but without a subscription, you can see snippets of Peter O'Keefe's obituary here by clicking on the little arrows next to the text, and it looks like he was survived by daughter Margaret White.  https://www.newspapers.com/search/#lnd=1&query=%22peter+o%27keefe%22+%22margaret+white%22+railroad+michael%27s&t=638
