Patrick John Malloy Ireland, Scotland and Michigan

[mcghee67]

Patrick John Malloy was the older brother of my grandfather Peter Malloy.
Patrick was born in 1897 in Meenavally Ardara Donegal. His parents were Bernard and Bridget Molloy. He emigrated from Donegal to Wishaw Scotland in 1908 with his mother and brothers and sisters, it is thought his father stayed on in the farm till 1911 and then emigrated to Philadelphia to stay with his brother Michael Patrick. After ww2 Patrick John emigrated to Michigan with his wife and family.
Patrick Johns wife died and he remarried for the 2nd time to his neighbour in 1964 aged 67years. According to vital records he died in 1986.  I am looking for imformation eg census records, death records, marriage records etc to see how they got on in Michigan and what became of them I am hoping to get in touch with his siblings. Any imformation I find I will add to my family webpage the molloys of Meenavally.  If anybody has time to do some lookups I would be very very grateful

Kind regards Jane

The latest census records available are from 1930, so if they went to Michigan after WWII, those won't help.  Do you know what area of Michigan they lived in?  Do you have a death certificate or obituary for Patrick?

I am sure he died in Oakland

Sorry he died in Saginaw, Michigan in June 1986 just 2 months short of his birthday.  I don't have any birth or obits for him

Thanks for taking the time to look

regards Jane

McGhee,

There is a tree on Ancestry that lists a Patrick James Malloy, born 11 Aug 1898
with a death of 3 Jun 1986 in Saginaw ,Michigan.

Is this your Patrick ?

If you're getting the information from the Social Security Death Index, that doesn't give the place of death, just the last place of residence.  The Michigan Death Index (which has the birthdate of 11 Aug 1998, which obviously isn't right) says he died in Thomas in Saginaw Co. on 3 Jun. 1986. 

Was there a Robert Malloy in the family?  There's one listed here:  http://cemeteries.saginaw-mi.com/search/

There's an obituary listed for Patrick and a few other Malloys here:  http://obits.netsource-one.net/  Look where it says Obituary Request Procedures - the library will send up to 5 obituaries with no fee.   (It looks in there like Robert was born in Arkansas, so that's probably not one of your guys.)

Are you sure about the details you have on Patrick John Malloy because the records I've found don't match up with what's in your 1st post.

Patrick J. Malloy
born 11 Aug.1898 Saginaw, Mich (not Ireland)
died 3 June 1986 Saginaw, Mich.
spouse: Nina Laflair

Nina Malloy
born 1 Aug.1898 Saginaw
died 7 Dec.1971 Saginaw
spouse Patrick J.
borth Nina and Patrick buried St. Andrews

1930 census- Saginaw, Saginaw, Mich,: Patrick Malloy 31, Nina Malloy 31, James Malloy 1 2/12 (this would be the above Patrick and Nina)

1920 census- also Saginaw: Phillip J. Malloy 36, brother Patrick J. Malloy 21, aunt Margaret Malloy* 81 (born Canada, father-Canada, mother-Ireland).

Hi McGhee,

 I think when you were looking for a death of your Patrick John , you found a record for the wrong one .

The death date of Jun 1986 belongs to a Patrick James Malloy, and his obit and census records from Shellyesq, and Aghadowney shows that. Also the family tree on ancestry belongs to a Patrick James and lists his 2 wives of Nina LaFlair and Deborah O'Neill.

It also lists his parents as being - Patrick Molloy and Margaret Fidler.

Do you have any other information which might point in the right direction for your Patrick ?
