Death of Martin Patrick Moran - Rhode Isaland, USA
« on: Thursday 11 February 21 23:05 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find the death of a Martin Patrick Moran, born 18 December 1879,Bannockburn, Scotland, who emigrated to the USA around 1920.  I have him in the 1940 USA census and is in Providence, Rhode Island, living at 11 Broad Street. His wife was Margaret Winter His son, also named Martin Patrick Moran, born 1912, died 1980. He is buried at Rhode Island Veterans Memorial Cemetery. I assume Martin Snr. died on Rhode Island but cannot seem to find his death.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Tom

Martin Sr. was alive as of 27 Apr. 1942, per his WWII draft registration card.

There is a Social Security claim for Martin P. Moran b. 19 Dec 1879 in the UK.  The claim date was 28 Nov. 1944.  Unfortunately, it doesn't specify whether the claim was for retirement benefits, disability benefits, or his death.  Considering that date was right before his 65th birthday, retirement benefits is a likely possibility.

Martin & wife Margaret appear to be in the Providence city directories through 1947.  I didn't see likely matches after that.

Martin died at the home of his son Martin P. Moran Jr., 1 April 1951.
Burial was at St. Ann's Cemetery, Cranston, RI

His wife Margaret(Winter) died at the home of their son Martin P Moran Jr., 16 May 1951.

=========

Edit To Add-

Forgot to add that the son Martin Jr. lived on Old Baptist Rd in Kingston RI.
So Martin Sr and Margaret didn't die in Providence, but in Kingston, RI

There might be a bit of confusion here (I'm certainly confused with the addresses). There's a Kingstown, Rhode Island and a Kingston, Rhode Island (University of R.I. campus is there).
Kingston, R.I. is north of South Kingstown, R.I. which is in turn just south of Warwick, Cranston then Providence.
From what I can see on Google maps, Old Forge Road is in North Kingstown.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

If you want copies of their obits let me know.

Their full obits tell more about their lives, where they were born, the names of their parents and the name of their granddaughter. I guess Martin Jr had a daughter.
