    3. I am a new member and am searching for information on this couple: In 1900 Rice, is in Lincoln, Mass., age 32, single, occupation coachman, immigrated 1887. It appears likely that he had recently moved from Worcester, as his father and sister sailed from Ireland to Philadelphia in 1894, at which time Rice's address was given as 11 Cheever St, Worcester. The following is the record of his marriage: Rice Meredith age 34, occupation carpenter, residence Worc., b. Ireland son of George Meredith [note this is an error, as his father's name was Samuel] and Frances Thompson married by W.H. Goggin priest; Catherine Jennive McCawley age 28, dressmaker, residence Worc., b. Ireland, daughter of Thomas McCawley and Jennive Munroe. In 1910 we find Rice and Catherine living in Lincoln, his occupation still a coachman; in 1920 I have not been able to find Catherine, but Rice is a "boarder" in a house in Worcester; in 1930 we find Rice and Catherine both in Worcester. They do not appear to have had any children. I would welcome any further information or sources anyone might be able to suggest. Sharon Haggerty Bowen Island, BC Canada
