Looking for Golden/Goldrick and Carden connection in Northeast PA.
1.MICHAEL CARDEN He married BRIDGET KELLY. They lived in Killala area. Is there an
area/parish etc. named Stealone? Notes taken on these births listed that for each child
born.
Children of MICHAEL CARDEN and BRIDGET KELLY are:
i. CATHERINE CARDEN, b. prob 1862 sponsors PATT FARRELL and MARGARET DOLPHIN;d. 1959,
Lackawanna, PA.
ii. MICHAEL CARDEN, b. 1859. sponsors DOLPHINS
iii. MARGARET CARDEN, b. 1865 sponsors JOHN AND BRIDGET KELLY
iv. UNKNOWN CARDEN, b. 1868 sponsors MCHALE AND BRIDGET CARDEN
Believe also there may have been another Catherine born to Michael and Bridget who perhaps
died young. Church records had another child in 1856 with sponsors FARRELL and DOLPHIN.
2. CATHERINE CARDEN was born prob 1862, and died 1959? in Lackawanna County, PA. She
married JAMES GOLDEN/GOLDRICK 1887 in Killala area, Ireland. He was born in Killala area
most likely and died in Killala,Ireland after returning later to Ireland.
James Golden was more than likely James Goldrick at time of marriage in 1887, unsure of
date of name change. Once arriving in the states c. 1894, they used the name Golden.
Children of CATHERINE CARDEN and JAMES GOLDEN are:
i. DELIA A. GOLDEN, b. January 21, 1891, Killala area, Ireland; d. July 23, 1980, Dunmore,
Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania.
ii. JOSEPH GOLDEN, b. August 17, 1895, Ireland or Pennsylvania; d. December 07, 1952,
Dunmore, Lackawanna County,Pennsylvania.
I know that Delia Golden was probably more likely born BRIGIDA GOLDRICK/GOLDEN on January
21, 1891, in Killala area. Immigrated with parents to Dunmore, Lackawanna, PA c. 1894.
Delia and Joseph lived in part with the NEALON family in Dunmore, Lackawanna County, PA.
John J. and Bridget Golden Nealon lived on Walnut St. with children John, Bridget, Annie,
Barbara, Mary.
Census reports say that Delia and Joseph are cousins/niece /nephew to the Nealons. I do
know they are related but cannot make the definite connection.
I noted in some postings and thru verification with other researchers that Mrs. Nealon
paid passage from Ireland for several relations, my grandmothers family presumably one and
also some other relations, namely the McGoldricks of Dunmore, Lackawanna County, PA.
Again, I know they are related but unsure of how.
3. DELIA A.GOLDEN was born January 21, 1891 in Killala, Ireland, and died July 23, 1980 in
Dunmore, Pennsylvania. She married FRANCIS GERALD SCOTT, son of JAMES SCOTT and BRIDGET
FLYNN. He was born February 11, 1889 in Dunmore, Pennsylvania, and died November 08, 1955
in Dunmore, Pennsylvania
And so on…..I am mainly looking at the Golden/Goldrick and Carden lines now. I know they
are related to Carbondale Goldens in some why but unable to pinpoint how thanks to the
large use of the names James and Bridget! I know there are several of you out there
researching Goldens so perhaps if I give you all of it, someone may recognize something.
If anyone has any information, please email me cscottbsn(a)aol.com
