I have very, very little but here goes:
Looking for CATHERINE aka KATE aka ELLEN.
In 1881 in Chicago at a Roman Catholic Church, she married Michael
FOLEY, who was from Ireland. The marriage certificate lists her name as
Kate Canfield or possibly Caufield. She had at least four children.
Martin and Mamie, as well as husband Michael, died before she did.
Surviving were John Joseph and James.
At her death in 1891 also in Chicago, the death certificate lists her
as ELLEN CAULFIELD. I know this is the same person because of
addresses. The few documents show her to be born in Ireland. She was
buried in a Roman Catholic cemetery.
Her son, John Joseph, was raised by his paternal uncle, Patrick, but we
do not know who raised James. In 1920, per the census, James was living
with John Joseph and his family. In 1900, per the census, John Joseph
was living with Patrick and his family but James is not listed.
Family oral history says her name was Catherine (nickname Kate)
CAULFIELD.
I know all the descendants of John Joseph but don't know about James
Foley. Also don't know of any collateral relatives or ancestors of
Kate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
