Thoughts - Margaret Quigley, age 55, on the 1875 census, should be transcribed as mother, not grandmother, to the head of household who was Benjamin, age 28. On the 1900, she is back with Benjamin, and she is now age 79, and is his mother. Why on earth it would say 1 child, 1 living, I don't know. Misunderstood question? Alzheimers? Both?
Back to the 1875 census, maybe the Thomas Quigley living with brother James, is not Margaret's son Thomas. There is a puzzle though. When James dies in 1928, his obit says he has a brother Thomas in Geneva (maybe this is him in 1875), but his bio says he was the oldest of 5 sons and 1 daughter but .... Thomas in 1875 is older than him.
Standby. I am trying to sort it out.
