Cork / Cavenaugh, Waggett, Henley
« on: Tuesday 17 January 12 05:02 GMT (UK) »
Richard Cavenaugh, Ellen Waggett, and Edward Henley were supposedly all from Cork. Many immigrated in the late 1840s to the US, Does anyone have any information on them?

Were Janet Brown and George twins? According to their death dates, they would have had to be. What is the source for their deaths? Robert Riley wouldn't fit birth-wise, so something is wrong. I have a picture of him and his wife. I will have to look at where I got it.
I also have a Mary Leslie:According to the birth record obtained by The Genealogy Centre, Derry, NI, from the town of Coleraine, NI, Mary Leslie was born to Matthew and Isabella on December 31, 1881 on Railway Place, Colerine, NI.

I did not have Janet Brown Woodburn.
These are the notes that I have on Robert Riley Woodburn:(I don't know if this is okay to post on this forum)
Robert was born in Ireland. According to his granddaughter, he was from Coleraine, in N. Ireland. She also thinks he had two sisters who lived in N. Ireland. (This recollection is consistent with the information supplied by David Woodburn, who said that two daughters of Matthew and Isabel Woodburn, a Mrs. Scott of Ballymena and a Mrs. Brewster of Coleraine, lived in Ireland while their seven other children went to the United States.) According to Nancy Rosenblatt, he greatly admired Queen Victoria and he had a fiery temper.
Robert immigrated to the United States on the S.S.Scandinavian, arriving in the Port of Baltimore in September 1888. His age is shown to be 22, his occupation is shown to be a miner, and his intended destination is Allegheny City, Pennsylvania. From some reason, the manifest states he from Scotland.
Do you know where Bella Brown was born? Where did you get the information about her father. I am at a dead end with the Browns.
Thank you.
Robert became a U.S. citizen on October 4, 1890 for which his sponsor was J. McAfee. (According to "A List of Immigrants Who Applied for Naturalization Papers in the District Courts of Allegheny Co., Pa.", W.Pa.Gen.Soc., v.6, p.105.). According to his death certificate, Robert was C.P.A. He was active in the Knights Templar, having served as the Master of the Avalon Lodge and in 1902 Commander of the Ascalon Commandery, No. 59 before affiliating himself with the Pittsburgh Commandery No, 1 in 1908.
According to the 1930 Census, Robert (age 67), lived with his wife Martha (age 63) and their son Morrow (age 25) and their daughter Mary Johnson (age 36) and her two children Jack (age 6) and Robert (age 4), at 822 Florence Ave., Avalon, Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania. Robert immigrated to the U.S. in 1880. He worked as a laborer at a bank.
He died of bladder cancer at 2:30 p.m. on August 26, 1933.
The following death notice was published in the August 27, 1933 edition of the Pittsburgh Press:
Woodburn--Saturday, Aug. 26, 1933, at 3:50 p.m., Robert R., aged 72 years, husband of Martha Young Woodburn. Funeral Service at his late residence, 822 Florence Ave., Avalon, PA, on Tuesday at 2 p.m. Member of Avalon Lodge No. 657, F&A M. Royal Arch Chapter, Zerubbabel No. 162, Pittsburgh Commandery, No. 1 Knight Templars: Syria Temple, A.A.O.M.S, and friends invited.

Do you know where the Wood comes from that many have as a middle name?
Do you have any information on the parents pf Bella Brown's parents? She is my great great grandmother.
I am sorry that I am so full of questions. Thank you again!

THis is my lucky day!
All I have is Jannette's birth information. I would like to know if she married, where she lived and about her death.
I can not find birth information about Barbara Wylie Woodburn. I know that she married James Robinson in Coleraine, but nothing else. Did she go to Canada? have a family? what is her death information?

Thanks. I found out that the cemetery attendant made a mistake when she transcribed the record. It happens.
Do you do Coleraine also? I am new at this. I am looking for a Barbara Wylie Woodburn. I find most of her siblings, except for Janet or Janette. All are children of Matthew Wood Woodburn and Isabella Brown.
