Perhaps this might be a clue on the Carmodys from Ireland.
Kept looking for Mina Carmody, daughter of Emma Heckel and great-granddaughter of James
Elder and Jeanetta Hagan of Clarion and Armstrong Cos, PA. Finally put the pieces
together.
1905, Mina Carmody of either West Tarantum (Allegheny Co.) PA or West Trenton (Mercer Co.)
PA (think the first), married Clarence Rall in Cuyahoga Co. OH. On her license she stated
she was born East Brady, (Clarion Co). PA and that her parents were John Carmody and Emma
Heckel.
In 1900, her mother Emma(Heckel) Carmody, dressmaker, shows to be married with 2
children living, but she alone is boarding in Pittsburg, Allegheny Co. PA with Martina
Mayer and her family. Widowed? Divorced? Separated?
Wondering why Mina would have married in Ohio, I found there were a number of Carmodys,
born Ireland, living in Cuyahoga Co. OH. Some ofher kin and your missing ones?
Could Emma's grandmother's parents tie into the Carmodys? If what others have
given is true, Jeanetta (Hagan) Elder's parents were Andrew Hagan, b c 1775 Ireland,
and Margaret Kelly, born? where? !820 Andrew Hagan in was in Venango Twp., Butler Co. but
several of his children lived most of their lives in Perry Twp., Clarion Co. PA ( just
across the Allegheny River from Parker).
