Did you find them in any censuses? If so, which ones, where and what surnames? I have combed all sources I can think of. McCaw is misspelled many ways. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Not in any censuses at all, including 1875 NY state.  Just the birth cert and the two Manhattan directories. There is the naturalization of a John McCaw. 1868. 124 Charlton St, Manhattan, which is not near the birth cert address. Also a John McCaw, coachman, 1883 Brooklyn directory, 154 Raymond St.  Family lore says he was a driver.  I have searched every other Bklyn and Manhattan directory from the 1850s til 1890. McCaw is a very rare name in NYC and so often misspelled--McCann, McCall, McGaw etc.  Thanks, Virginia ________________________________ From: Pat Connors <[email protected]> To: VLB <[email protected]>; "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 28, 2014 4:22 PM Subject: Re: [NY-IRISH] Another vanished family Did you find them in any censuses?  If so, which ones, where and what surnames?

Did an "O'" ever substitute for "Mc" ? > Not in any censuses at all, including 1875 NY state.  Just the birth cert
