Hi,
I am trying to find any details about David Henry BOUNDY (b 1873 Cramlington) to David & Sarah Boundy.
In 1881 Census the Boundy family were listed with William Reynolds. Shown as son-in-law, but his marriage in 1872 was to Sarah Jane Rickard. Three sons also listed with David and Sarah Boundy. The father, David Boundy was killed in a mining accident a week after the Census was completed in 1881.
I have found David H Boundy's two brothers, James R Boundy (b 1878) and William Thomas Boundy (b 1880) in Illinois. All I can find for David H Boundy is his naturalization in 1895, and a marriage entry 1896-1904: David Boundy and Margaret Carrigan. According to a brief sighting of the 1910 US Census (Illinois), David and Maggie Boundy had a son, also David (b 1908).
This is the only information I have been able to find, anywhere. I would appreciate any further information about this particular family. Thank you.

is the W Reynolds, witness to his naturalization, the same W. Reynolds the family was living with in 1881?
------------
possibly his son David's burial (b 1908, d 1960), and hint of another Boundy family in the area:

son David is in the Peoria City Directories until at least 1956 according to ancestry's index. (I didn't look at images)

"died catlin appendicitis" - Catlin could be the Township, place of death. he was there in 1901, but in Danville, same county, in 1910

I'm not sure this is your David's son. There is a David H Boundy in Tazewell Co, IL in 1910 and 1920, son of Walter and Harriet. Walter is the other Boundy I referred to in the same cemetery listing at findagrave.
And in 1910, David and Margaret had no children in the household and also according to her information: 0 children, 0 living.

Walter may be a brother of the elder David, as his parents are listed as David and Sarah in his death record. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N32L-CRM

Yes. a tree at ancestry says his parents were David and Sarah [Reynolds], but he names a son Walter Rickard Boundy. The tree lists "your" David, James R, and a sister Katie Williams as siblings, but says Katie was born 1890. It has the elder David Boundy's death correct as 1881, so Katie might be a mistake.

Hello shellyesq & oldohiohome,
Thank you. Yes, William Thomas Boundy (d 1929) is in fact a brother to David Henry Boundy. They must have all emigrated mid-1880's, after death of their father.
If David died in 1912, is there anywhere the Death Registration is available, online?
There was a very large family of Boundy's settled around Peoria, Illinois, descendants of the two brothers. It is now probable after your postings that the David Boundy I thought was their son, is probably the son of Walter and Harriet Boundy.
I was not aware of a Katie Williams, as a sister. I have queried the marriage of David H Boundy and Sarah Jane Rickard, after seeing the 1881 census entry.
It becomes confusing. Thank you for your help. Regards.

Illinois didn’t start statewide death registration until 1916, and only some counties did before that. The Illinois site doesn’t have any from that county.

Thank you. That saves a few hours searching!

Do you know what became of Margaret (called Maggie) Boundy, after the death of her husband?
Did she remarry perhaps? Thanks.
Printer.

This looks like Margaret with her family of origin in Catlin, IL in 1900. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MSHR-RPQ
Find a Grave has this Margaret associated with that family. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/120031853/margaret-m.-mchatton
If that's the right one, this is her death record - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NQS2-HCS
Husband #2 appears to be Willis E. McHatton. 1930 census - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X3MP-YX2 The age at first marriage fits with it being a 2nd marriage for both.
1920 census - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MJC1-P5X

they were married by 1918
Willis Edwin McHatton
born Nov 17, 1873
WWI Draft, Sep 12, 1918, Danville, IL
nearest relative: Mrs Margaret McHatton
their address: 24 1/2 Jackson, Danville
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:7QJF-4FN2
---------
Danville City Directories at ancestry skip from 1910 to1920. So no way to see if Willis was listed with a wife Margaret before 1918.
---------
and Willis may have married again, if his birth year is way off on this death record:
Willis McHatton
d 4 Jan 1937, Danville
b 17 Nov 1883 [same day and month. the year is off by 10 years. no image - was it the transcriber?]
spouse: Mabel Harding
buried Catlin, Vermilion County, IL

The 1871 census helps to explain the Reynolds - Rickard connection. Sarah Jane Rickard was the step daughter of William Reynolds. William Reynolds second wife was Jane Rickard - marriage Tavistock, Devon Oct - Dec 1860 ( they are in Tavistock in the 1861 census).
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V5BF-QTV
It looks like Sarah Jane was the daughter of James and Jane Rickard. Groindex would suggest that Jane's maiden name was Thomas. This is Sarah Jane's baptism. ( NB. Although Calstock is in Cornwall it is near to Tavistock in Devon).
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-67S9-Y8J?i=30
I think this is the marriage between James Rickard and Jane Thomas.

Looking at this record, I think "dnvpress-dem 01/24+31" means he had an obituary or funeral notice in the Danville Press-Democrat on January 24 & 31. It doesn't look like this newspaper is online for that time frame, but the Danville Public Library does do research for a fee. https://danvillepubliclibrary.org/archives/

Hello shellyesq, oldohiohome & Millmoor,
Wow! Thank you. That's so amazing to discover this morning! It certainly does complete the story of Maggie Boundy. For that, I am most grateful.
It also now clarifies the 1881 Census entry with the Reynolds family in Northumberland, England and marriage of David Boundy (1851-1881) and Sarah Rickard, the parents of (my) David Henry Boundy (1873-1912), which started this thread. Very much appreciated. Thanks again. regards.
