Debbie, thanks for this info. I did have some of the census you had sent but not the info. on Austin. thanks so much. I am trying to find more info. on Alice I can't find her after 1910 I assume she got married when she gave my Dad up for adoption. I have gone to the foundling home and they refuse to help me out. I finally got my Dads adoption record after talking with my Dads step sisters daughter and she told me she had it.....so I was very excited.....thanks again for giving me this info.....Sandy from New York t / ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debra Malecki" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2005 5:57 PM Subject: [PA-LAC] Barrett, Cometa & Maloney > Sandy, > > You did'nt say what you had or did'nt have, so here are the censuses and a > few other things I found, hope it helps. > > -------------------------------------------- > Scranton, Pennsylvannia Directories > > Name: Bryan Barrett > Location 2: Thompson n N Main avenue > Occupation: laborer > Year: 1890 > City: Scranton > State: PA > > > Name: Bryan Barrett > Location 2: 1245 Thompson > Occupation: laborer > Year: 1891 > City: Scranton > State: PA > > ---------------------------------------------------- > 06-01-1900, Scranton Ward 18, Lackawanna, Pa > > Bruce Barrett Head May 1845 Ire Ire Ire > Mary Wife Feb 1860 Ire Ire Ire > Alice Daug Sept 1893 Pa Ire Ire > Austin Maloney Son Mar 1884 Ire Ire Ire > > They had been married 8 years, Mary had had 6 children with 4 living.
