Richard died between 1900 and 1910, and Amelia/Emily died between 1910 and 1920, Here is what I know about them and their children: Richard Blennerhassett was born in Ireland between 1835 and 1840 based upon US Census ages. He died between 1900 and 1910 in or near Cambridge, Massachusetts. Amelia was born in Ireland between 1846 and 1848 based upon US Census ages. Her maiden name was HAGGARD per her daughter's (Mary E. Blenerhassett, b. 28 May 1871 in Lynn, Massachusetts) birth certificate. She died between 1910 and 1920 in or near Cambridge, Massachusetts (possibly the Cambridge City Home). Richard and Amelia were married in 1860 in Ireland. In the 1870 census they are residing in Hartford, Connecticut listed as Richard and Amelia HASSATT with children: Sarah, 8, b. Ireland Arthur, 5, b. Ireland Elizabeth, 3, Connecticut Richard, 1/12, Connecticut Living next door in the same multiunit dwelling is Arthur and Margaret HASSATT with children Arthur and John. I don't know if/how these families are related. In the 1880 census they are residing in Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts listed as Richard and Emily BLENNERHASSETT with children: Sarah, 18, Ireland Arthur 16, Ireland. Eliza, 12, Massachusetts Mary E., 9, Massachusetts Thomas R., 4, Massachusetts Richard's brother, John Blennerhassett (b. 1838 in Ireland), is residing with them. In the 1900 census they are residing in Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts listed as Emily and Richard B. HASSETT with one child (Rolland, 22, Massachusetts). In the 1910 census Emily Blennerhassett (widow) is living in the Cambridge City Home and the records show that she had 8 children, 5 still living. More on the children... Son, Arthur, married Jennie M. ___ in 1890. They had 2 daughters, Temple and Elizabeth Blennerhassett, born in the Boston area. Daughter, Elizabeth, married George William Cole in 1891. One son is Clarence Archibald Cole, born in Brookline, MA. Daughter, Mary Ellen, married Wallace Alexis Tobey in 1890. They had 2 children, Maybelle Pauline and Chester Wallace Tobey born in Cambridge. Does any one have connections with any of these folks? Are there records for the Cambridge City Home, the last location that I have for Emily/Amelia Blennerhassett? Are there any online records for cemeteries in or near Cambridge? What newspapers should I check for obits? Please point me in the right direction to find the details! Thanks for your assistance. Lorie ****************************************
