    1. [BURNS] John Burns 1864 - 1916
    2. Maureen Hodgson
    3. Hello, I am trying to find where in Michigan my step-great grandfather and my great grandmother lived and died. John Burns married my great grandmother Ellen Garvey Malone 22 Feb 1909* in Cleveland, OH and then moved to Michigan and nobody ever heard from them again. *SOURCE Marriage Record Application No. 61133 dated Feb 20, 1909 State of Ohio, Cuyahoga County Return Certified that on the 22nd day of February 1909 James Burns and Ellen Malone were married by Rev. F. A. Malloy Vol 72 p. 34. John was born in Dublin, Ireland 15 Jan 1864* and died 1916 (although, I have nothing to prove the death date and frankly, do not know where it came from). We are assuming that he died in Michigan. According to the Marriage Record, John's parents were Thomas Burns and Julia Christian and John was a fireman. Also according to the marriage record, Ellen's parents were Michael Garvey and Ellen Donahue. Ellen Garvey (b. circa 1855) married my great grandfather, Michael Malone probably around 1875 in Ireland. They emigrated to Aliquippa, PA and then moved to Cleveland, OH. Michael died at age 42 in Cleveland on 3 Mar 1890** and Ellen raised their seven children by herself. After the children were out of the house she married John Burns and moved to Michigan with him. ** Source [email protected] Cuyahoga County Archives, No,. 1160 I am hoping that by finding John Burns, I will be able to get some information on Ellen Garvey Malone Burns. We do not even know when she died or where she was living at the time of her death. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Maureen Hodgson
