I found 2 Alice Egan b RI in
Rhode Island Births, 1636-1930
Name: Alice J Egan
Parent 1: Michael Egan
Parent 2: Catherine A E Egan
Birth Date: 07 Jul 1886
and
Name: Alice E Eagan
Parent 1: Patrick J Eagan
Parent 2: Mary E Eagan
Birth Date: 03 Jan 1903
In 1885 there is a Michael Egan at 235 Atwells Ave, Prov, a laborer
and a Michael Egan, moulder boarding at 27 West River Ave, Prov.
This is an ancestry database made up mostly of births in Prov,
but it does contain other areas, and it is not complete.
I can't find the first Alice in the 1900 census, but in 1910, there is
an Alice Egan, age 23, living as a boarder with an Agnes Trainor
at 34 Shore or Shove St in Providence. She is single, b RI, father
born Ireland-English, mother b. RI. She is a packer in a rubber
factory.
I don't find this Alice in 1920.
***************************************
In 1910, the second Alice is 7, living with her parents and brother &
sister
John & Catherine, Patricks father Michael, and sister Alice. They are
at 86 Stockton St. Providence. Patrick is an operator in a screw
factory.
I don't find these people in 1920 either.
I don't find Leonard McPhail in RI at all, but the city directories I
can
access are not consecutive years. City directories for Providence
do exist for many years, so if you have any idea when Leonard
might have been here maybe you can find some directories on
film that you could borrow. I don't know if the Family History Libary
has them.

Subject: [RIGENWEB] New Subscriber - Help with my EGAN relatives
Hello All!!
I'm hoping that someone out there can help me break
through a brick wall that I've been facing for the past
9 months. My great-grandmother, Alice EGAN was (I
believe) born in Rhode Island around the turn of the
century. She married my great-grandfather, Leonard
MCPHAIL who was from Trois Riviers Quebec. He was born
in 1898 (which is why I believe Alice was born around
1900). I know that the family eventually moved to
Ontario. However, I have been unable to locate any
census or marriage or death/cemetary records over here.
I'm hoping that someone with a great deal of knowledge
of the Rhode Island Records (census, BMD, whatever), or
with access to these records, could look up Alice EGAN
and provide me with any leads. If I had some idea
where to look - I'm sure I could break through this
wall!!
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!!
