I am referring to Mary Weir Diver Devine, who was married to Charles Devine and is my great great grandmother (at least my grandfather, her grandson, says so :) ). I look forward to seeing what you are able to discover about both of their families - I'd thought I hit a wall until I found your post. I believe that Mary Devine and the Edward Diver were half-siblings, with the same mother. So if you have information on Edward's mother that would be very helpful. I did have some information on Mary's siblings - I have Edward, William, Samuel, Hugh, and possibly two John's (my grandfather thinks he remembers that Mary had a brother John, and when her mother remarried a Diver that he also wanted a son named John). I had never followed up on them because my great aunt just named them with no specifics. I searched for Edward today and did find the following death notice for William Diver in the Fulton Patriot (New York state) on 13 Jan 1944: Diver - Died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Lester Day, 418 Cayuga street, Jan. 11, William Diver, aged 64 years. Surviving are his daughter, Mrs. Day; a son, Warrant Officer, Junior Grade, William L. Diver of the Signal Corps Training Center, army air base, New Orleans, La,; a sister, Mrs. Mary Devine of Lockport, and three brothers, Edward Diver of Buffalo and Samuel and Hugh Diver of Strabane, Ireland. Mr. Diver was a native of Strabane, County Tyrone, Ireland. He came to this country 41 years ago. For the past 22 years he had resided in Fulton and for the last 14 years he held the situation of stationary engineer and fireman at the McHenry Millhouse(?) plant. Death came as the result of an illness of several months. I found it at fultonhistory.com, by typing in Edward Diver and making it search for the exact phrase.
