As long as I was checking on Mastersons, I thought I would add the following about Callan
which you may know:
In l900 they lived on Sheridan in Worcester. Patrick and Julie were both born in Ireland.
Patrick was still an alien, having arrived in l872. They had been married 22 years, 8
children, 7 still living. This seems to indicate that they married once they got here.
You might get their parents names from the marriage certificate information.
In l900 they had the following children: James, (b. 9.1880); Edmund (b. 2/1884); Thomas
(b. 11/1885); John (b. 10/1890); Willliam (b. 10/1891); Fred (b. 8/1894) and Mary (b. Dec.
l896)
Patrick was listed as a day laborer.
If you need any additional information, let me know. If you live in Massachusetts and have
access to the State Archives in Boston, you should be able to make a lot of progress. If
not, you can still get a lot of information from them by letter. Good Luck.
