Dear Michelle and Kevin, · “One event was possibly recorded by two doctors.” Thank you so much for playing devil's advocate to my thought process: that was just what I was hoping for. I have found seven of the eight children Kate mentions in the 1910 census in censuses, draft registration cards, city directories, and burial plot records. My grandfather was born before the 1891 birth/s: I think I will acquire his birth certificate now and check the sibling count in 1888! · “It is rather odd that there is no burial information. I would think either there was no second baby at all or maybe he did not die but was institutionalized. Calvary etc. would not dream of burying a kid without a death certificate by 1891.” I agree: another reason to think the two certificates are for the same child. · “St. Raphael is one of the few parishes that has records available through the FHL in Salt Lake City. For $5.50 you can see a microfilm of the original baptismal register yourself. You might even find other Gaughran children baptized in these records.” Wonderful to know: I’ll try to do this later this week; however, I asked them about my grandfather's 1888 baptism about a year and a half ago, and they did not have record of it. I was also in the process of contacting Ellen at Holy Family this week: thanks for the encouragement. Again, MANY thanks for all of the insight and information.
