Death of Lizzie Watterson, 1910-1920, Philadelphia

[Peggy13]

Thank you Sandra for following Daniel Donnelly which gave us John's wife Maggie's parents' names.

Really not sure that is the correct Daniel Donnelly, Peggy.    Daniel would have needed to return to Ireland, marry Jane and return to Philadelphia in 1888    (it is not unusual for someone to travel back and forward but there is no indication in any record that he gives an earlier immigration date)

marriage - 1 May 1882 -  Stranorlar, Donegal County, Ireland.

Daniel Donnelly - Date of Registration 1882, Apr-May-Jun - Registration district Stranolar, Ireland - Volume2 Page number 340

The record for Jane Quinn does not give the same ref numbers - neither is Daniel Donnelly mentioned !! Jane Quinn - Date of Registration:   1882, Apr-May-Jun
Registration district Stranolar, Ireland - Volume 2 Page number 349

Per civil marriage record...address : Ballybofey Occupation: labourer over 21 and a bachelor. Fathers name Patrick Donnelly a laborer. Jane, from Ballybofey,  a laborer, father John Quinn

I came across a petition for naturalization for Daniel Donnelly 2730 North Front Street.  Born 1857 Pomeroy, Ireland. Says he immigrated 1888. (See below)

I think you have found David's wife and it was Keenan as I wondered about earlier. As for Daniel, I tried hard to find daughter Mary's death in Scotland hoping it might say father in Philadelphia or something like that. But didn't find the correct Mary.
thank you for all your help.
