Message Board Post:
Ann,
Based on your entries, I believe your GGF (James Cawley) is my GGF's (John Cawley)
older brother.
John Cawley YOB 1873, emigrated from Ireland to US, settled in Scranton, PA in the
1890's (1894?) and married Julia Ruddy (YOB 1879? emigrated 1896?).
They had many children, but it appears many died. Via the census I find the following
listed:
Harold J. YOB 1900
Francis W YOB 1903 or 1905
Walter YOB 1908
Helen M. YOB 1910ish
Joseph YOB 1915
Catherine YOB 1917
Joseph is my grandfather. He remained in Scranton. He married Mary Quinlan. They had
three children: Thomas, Joseph and Mary Ann. Thomas is my father.
Joseph remains with his family in the same house John Cawley purchased circa 1910.
I would be very interested in learning more information. Please contact me via email at
