Death of Lizzie Watterson, 1910-1920, Philadelphia

[*Sandra*]

The obit mentioned a sister Mrs Margaret Tise ?
I did find a Margaret Tice but she was a Sarah Margaret Workman (also Wortman on some records) at birth ? Supposedly born Ohio 1863 ?  They also had a son with Emmett as a middle name and that rang a bell     Was that the other White/Tobin family ? So quite a mish-mash.

So is there a mistake in Catherine Hennessy's obit in 1923 and her daughter should be Mrs. William Smith, not Mrs. Martin Smith, and her daughter is Margaret. If that is the case, when did William and Margaret marry? Was she previously married to a McG*** as per the 1910 census?

Wow, I think you have solved the mystery of the McG*** name on the 1910 census, RJ137. There is a family connection but not Margaret’s surname. Rita was living at same address as William Smith in 1923. So maybe Joseph White’s wife was a McGettrick.
Thanks very much for the death certificates for Catherine Hennessy and Margaret Smith.
