Look-up request for Magraths in New York and Connecticut
« on: Tuesday 31 October 17 17:28 GMT (UK) »
Is anyone able to look up a Marian Walker, living with brother Charles V Magrath at 19th ST in the 1905 NY Census?
There was a Marian Magrath in the 1870 Manhattan Census with brothers and sisters including a Charles V. Magrath.  I guess there must be a marriage record & other Census records for her.....
A Charles V. Magrath was cited in the will of a brother Wm Benjamin Magrath (resident NY, but buried in Springdale Connecticut) in 1903. At that time it was said he had 3 brothers & 2 sisters living in NY.
All the brothers and sisters COULD link to Dublin parents George Ponder Magrath & Maryann Scott, but the only firm link I have is for William Benjamin.
Many thanks.

A year of immigration. Wonderful. Thankyou.
Sorry her husband had died - no indications of how long a widow, if naturalized etc?

Thanks Sandra. If he was 'my' Robert then he and brother Marcus would have gone back to Dublin. (I have a Robert who was later a sanitary engineer in Dublin and a brother Marcus who was a clerk - which would correspond to to their declared occupations I think).
But then ... I do so want them to be 'mine', frightened of making leaps that aren't evidenced.

Could this death for a Rebecca Boardman fit?  https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2W9W-SFT  The parents' names looks close, and the cemetery might also be Springdale.

That is definitely her!
I am intrigued by the Springdale connection. It is where Wm B was buried -yet he practised as a solicitor and actually died in NY.  So someone was there that was important to them - maybe one of those potential siblings ....

On www.fultonhistory.com, I found a death notice for Rebecca in the NY Herald from 30 Jun. 1907.  It says she was the widow of Francis Boardman and the funeral was to be in Springdale, Conn.  No further info about her family.

Also on that site, there is an article in the Mount Vernon Daily Argus from 29 Jun. 1901 with a list of people who went to a wedding (whose wedding, I'm not sure, as it's on a different page).  It lists Mrs. Rebecca Boardman and then the next two names are William Magrath and Charles Magrath.
