Patrick Carroll, d 1928, Chicago
« on: Friday 08 September 23 14:22 BST (UK) »
Could someone see if there is an obituary for this man? I didn't find one in the index at newspapers.com. I'm mainly looking for the names of his siblings and a specific birthplace, more specific than Co. Armagh, Ireland.

Illinois, Cook County Deaths, 1871-1998
12 July 1928, in Chicago
Patrick Carroll, 50, married, born in Ireland
residence: 5134 S Wood, Chicago
Occupation: Milk Dealer
Father: Owen Carroll
Mother: Mary Quinn
Spouse: Mary Carroll
Informant: Joseph E Carroll
Buried: 16 Jul 1928, Mount Olivet, Chicago, Illinois
Funeral Home   Schroeder-Thompson
Entry Number   21702

The age is all wrong by the way. He was born about 1865 according to all his other records.

----------------
The "rest of the story" -
Transcribed records for Patrick say he was born in "Fort Hill" Ireland, and in Co. Armagh. The images are not online.  His wfe was born about a mile from Forkhill, Armagh.  I think he is the brother of Elizabeth "Lizzie" Carroll, baptized 1 September 1868, Dromintee Catholic Parish, Forkhill Civil Parish, Co. Armagh, daughter of Owen Carroll and Anne Quinn.

For where I have looked so far for Lizzie see the thread on the Co Armagh board:

I have the censuses for Patrick and his wife Mary through 1940 and am filling in the children's births, marriages, etc.

This transcription says his age was "about 50y", so sounds more like the person was guessing.  https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NQTP-7LW
