Peart 37 b.Sept 1862 NH occupation: stone setter Margaret A. Peart 29 b. Jun 1870 Scot dressmaker Annie K. Peart 13 b.Feb 1887 MA The 1900 census asks how many years married ~ it says 16 years, so married about 1884. Margaret is the mother of one child and one child is living [obviously Anna] [Note: they are boarding in the house of Edmond & Harriet Cheever ~ they seem unrelated] In 1910 census at Attleboro, MA Margaret Peart 39 b. Scot "widow", mother of one child/one child living Anna Peart 22 [dau] b.MA However, also in 1910 at Salem, Essex Co., MA Frank N. Peart 47 b.1863 "single" engraver In 1920 census at Warwick, Kent, Rhoda Island Frank N. Peart 57 "single" stone setter in jewelry shop.. I find Frank N. Peart b.1863 apprentice gold engraver listed in 1880 census at Chelsea, Suffolk, MA with parents Francis B. and Martha Peart [father Francis B. Peart born RI] Seems to suggest that Frank N. Peart and Margaret separated, divorced? Perhaps Daniel Sheehan was Margaret's first husband and he died, then she married Frank Peart? As Anna was born Feb 1887 this seems to indicate that Frank Peart was her father rather than Daniel Sheehan??? If Margaret and Frank divorced then maybe Margaret went back to using Sheehan ~ her name from her first marriage this would explain it's use in her 1915 marriage to James Peckham? When in 1884 did Margaret marry Daniel Sheehan? Perhaps there is another marriage to Frank Peart in the same year or at least in 1885?
