US Lookup Requests / Re: Owen McDevitt(Mcdaid) - help Please
« on: Friday 27 January 23 20:54 GMT (UK) »
Hello Triathlon, this is my maternal great grandfather. It seems a few things got mixed up, but I can tell you that Owen Francis McDaid was born 27 Apr 1866 - Fallask, Buncrana, Donegal, Ireland to parents William McDaid (1831-1909) and Bridget Doherty (1840-1868)
He went to America in 1886 married Mary Ann Kenney 18 Apr 1892 in Woburn MA.
Owen and Mary Ann had 13 children, with their first child (Delia) born in Woburn in 1893. All of the rest of the children were born in Lexington, MA (on the family farm at 1 grove st, lexington).
He died at the farm (with his boots on I am told) on 06 Jun 1949 and is buried in Calvary Cemetery in Winchester, MA.
In the USA, Owen is known as McDevitt instead of McDaid, and is sometimes spelled McDavitt as well.
I hope this helps!
