Hi Clare, I have not gotten as far as calling Old Cathedral yet. I know there is a premature infant, Michael, in the same plot. I'm reviewing the indices of Philadelphia deaths, and I believe that John died in 1952. There were 2 branches of my McGarrity family in Philadelphia beginning about 1885 - (1) the siblings of my GGM, children of Michael McGarrity and Sarah Hughes; and (2) a set of 1st cousins, the children of John McGarrity, Michael's oldest brother, and Catherine Bigley. With Irish naming conventions, many of the forenames are repeated in both sets. Thanks, Margaret -----Original Message----- From: TyroneIre [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 11 June, 2013 2:25 PM To: Margaret Donnelly; CTI Subject: Re: [CoTyIre] McCusker Family Margaret, hello again. I checked the death notice and the death certificate as well. Have you tried calling Old Cathedral cemetery to see who else is buried in the grave? John would likely be buried there which would give you a lead on his post-1940 death certificate. You might also find other family members buried which could help determine any connection to your people. - - - - - Clare L. Ass't List Admin.

Snap Mike...was just about to email re Ballnahaye. Also to pick up on the Clonavaddy clue - Ballnahaye is only 5 miles from Clonavaddy. On the 1901 census also there are many McCuskers in Ballynahaye including some that would be of the same generation as your person. There is also a 70 year old Patrick McCusker with a younger, possibly second wife and possibly second family with that wife. The family is Roman Catholic. These names in the census look as though they could be looked at for clues! I would try to find the death of the the mother Mary Clarke McCusker and then a marriage between Patrick and Anne.

Thanks everyone for your prompt answers about Mary Anne McCusker. Ballynahaye does seem to be a good fit. I did find the death of Mary Hagan McCusker, registered 1890 in Dungannon. I found a helpful site for exchange of Irish BMD: http://vicki.thauvin.net/chance/ireland/bmd/ I believe Charles McCusker, Mary Anne's father, died 1908. I am actually chasing the McGarrity family, as my GGM was a McGarrity from Inishatieve. Her siblings have been difficult to trace, so I'm looking at families of possible/probable spouses to triangulate my search. Mary Anne McCusker was married to John McGarrity, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1889. My GGM had a brother John, born 1866, and the ages shown on the census for Mary Anne and John are a good fit. No proof yet - don't have a date of death or death certificate for John McGarrity yet. He was still living in 1940. Oral history tells me that all the siblings of my GGM came to the US. Some were reported in Philadelphia in the 1890s and some first cousins were known to be in Philadelphia. My GGM was in NYC in the 1880s and early 1890s, then in New Jersey.

Hi Margaret, Nice to hear from you again. Ballynahaye, Killeshill Parish, Co. Tyrone is what I believe it is. http://cotyroneireland.com/townlands/images/Killeeshil.pdf As for McCuster's list in the Tyrone Griffiths, there is a Bernard, Henry, Hugh, and Michael all listed in this townland. There is one Charles McCosker listed in Skeboy, Termonmaguirkin the Griffiths http://cotyroneireland.com/townlands/images/TermonmaguirkWest.pdf Put these in Google Maps directions Ballynahaye Road, Ballygawley, United Kingdom to Skeboy Road, Loughmacrory, United Kingdom and you will see they are 12 miles appart. This would be my best guess going by all the McCuskers listed in the Griffiths. This is the only townland which I believe could be a match. Seeing how there are so many McCuskers in Ballynahaye (Bllynaghy) maybe Charles was from this area originally Regards, Michael Kelly Emporium, Cameron County, Pennsylvania, United States of America -----Original Message----- From: Margaret Donnelly Sent: Monday, June 10, 2013 3:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [CoTyIre] Assistance deciphering a location I could use a little assistance, please, in deciphering a location in County Tyrone.

Lauren I believe it is for Northern Ireland as well. Listen to Boyd. He makes the process easier. If you ever need instruction they are on the GRO site for ordering via mail or fax but they warn they are not responsible for any identity theft went sending credit card numbers. I think they are referring mostly to the fax option when making warning on identity theft. Regards, Michael Kelly Emporium, Cameron County, Pennsylvania, United States of America
