Have you found your grandfather on the 1892 NY State Census with or without his parents. If he was an orphan where and by whom was he raised? Often relatives, sister of your great-grandparent perhaps? There may be a guardian record also on file, or a will/probate record? | The Death certificate may also be wrong about where he was born. What is the earliest census or other record you have of your grandfather? Did he have any siblings or cousins you know about? Lastly, where did your grandfather die and where was he buried. People are not necessarily buried with their parents but still buried in the same cemetery.Have you found your grandfather's wedding or possibly military records? ________________________________ From: mriley7212 via <ny-troy-irish-gensoc@rootsweb.com> To: ny-troy-irish-gensoc@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, October 25, 2014 2:51 PM Subject: [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] Riley I have a death certificate for my grandfather, Charles Riley. His parents are listed as John and Sara Riley. My grandfather was born in Troy in 1886 and died in 1926 in Watervliet. I can't find a John and Sara Riley who passed away after 1886. I have checked Troy city hall, Renss. City historical, and the Troy library. I also checked in Watervliet and with NYSOSC Health dept. The 1990 census would have helped. I have Ancestry Someone suggested the Mormons in Latham. Has anyone used their research? I had seen a John and Sara in Lishakills, Watervliet, when Watervliet was a large town. I don't think they would have moved like thar but who knows. I have tried different spelling also. Any tips or suggestions.

I have a Sarah Jane MacDonald whose first husband was a Reilley. Slim chance maybe it is her. She was born in New York state in 1867, probably Morristown.  When she remarried in 1900 to Lorin Bradley Lewis in Irvington, she gave her surname as Reilley. I have looked and looked for her first husband and/or any children.I don't know of any association with Troy and will have to look at a map to see if it is anywhere near Morristown.Peggy On Sunday, October 26, 2014 12:45 AM, Peter Reilly via <ny-troy-irish-gensoc@rootsweb.com> wrote: Have you found your grandfather on the 1892 NY State Census with or without his parents.
