Two McGaughey's One born in Boston and other died in Philadelphia
« on: Tuesday 21 September 21 16:37 BST (UK) »
I have some information on my McGaughey reletives and I would like to find out if they are correct as they lived between USA and County Tyrone in Northern Ireland.

First is Walter McGaughey. From the information I have he was born in 1888 Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA and I would like to find out if this is correct and who his parents are as I had his father as Peter McGaughey and mother as Ellen Bradley from County Tyrone, Ireland

Other is for Catherine McGaughey, born May 1, 1856 Seskinore, County Tyrone, Ireland to Michael McGaughey and Ellen McGaughey,  died October 22, 1943 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. I don't know if she married or not but any help would be appreciated with these two.
