Cora Holleran Cuft McMahon

[BrightonDCO]

I am trying to trace down any details concerning my grandfather's second wife.  Her name was Cora Holleran Cuft McMahon.   My grandfather was John McMahon.  This was Cora's third marriage.  Her previous married names were Holleran and Cuft.  They married in Our Lady of Lebanon Church (Catholic) in Niagara Falls New York and lived in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.  According to my aunt, Cora was an American and she is buried in Niagara Falls, New York.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cora's pob is listed as Crown Point, NY on her son's marriage license (previous post).  Could this be her in 1880 in Crown Point, NY?  Adopted dau of Daniel and Emma Brooks.

Hi Genealiza,

Thank you for finding these documents!! I will follow up, particularly her possible engagement/marriage to William Kieb.  My Aunt may have been incorrect about the Cuft name.
