Fellow Researchers -- I am seeking any information on my great-grandparents and aunt (or other relatives), who lived in Cleveland in the early 1900's. I have found them in the 1910 and 1920 census returns as follows: Bernard "Barney" Kane (my ggfather, b. Ireland, 1828-37, depending on which records you believe), and his wife: Mary (McKie/McKay) Kane (b. Ireland, 1832-41), in 1910 were living with their daughter Hannah (Kane, b. 17 May 1868, Gateshead, England) McGregor and her husband, James "Jimmy" McGregor (b. 1869, Ireland), who was a galvanizer in a factory. They were all living at 7904 Crumb Ave. NE in Cleveland. By the 1920 census, Barney had died, but Mary was still living with Hannah and Jimmy, now a factory stockkeeper, at the same home. Barney is believed to have died 28 May 1913, with services at St. Thomas Aquinas RC Church. Mary is believed to have died 2 Mar 1921 (no further info). Jimmy and Hannah are not known to have had any children (none are listed on the census records, although Hannah and Jimmy were in their 40-50's by then, so the kids could already have been gone). Am especially interested in any info before 1910 or after 1920 -- City Directories, obituaries, birth announcements, etc, as well as details of the deaths of Barney and Mary. I have written to the Cleveland Diocese but as yet have gotten no response. I've seen references on the List of the possibility of accessing the County Archives via e-mail. Can someone advise the correct address, etc. Your help is greatly appreciated. Cheers, Tim Kane

Tim - Go into the Ohio Historical Society web site <www.ohiohistory.org/> then click on Archivbes/Research Tools, then on Death Certificate Index. Then put in their names, period of death and the County. You will find both Bernard and Mary. (Mary's death date is 3/22/1921. For a dollar each you can get their death certificates and find out even more information. There should also be obituaries for both in either the Cleveland Press or Plain Dealer.
