Hi,

Has anyone come across a Rose A. McDevitt / McDaid (my great grandmother) in their searches, or have any information on her?

Rose A. McDevitt / McDaid born Abt. sometime during the1860's in Urrismanagh, Clonmany, County Donegal, Ireland.
Rose's parents were Patrick McDevitt / McDaid and her mother was Mary O'Donnell of Leenanmore, County Donagel, Ireland, and married abt 1860 in Urrismanagh, Clonmany, County Donegal, Ireland.
I don't know when she (Rose) immigrated to the USA, but she married Martin J. Griffin ( of Ireland) on May 2, 1897 in Boston, Massachusetts. Rose A. McDevitt/ McDaid - Griffin died on Aug. 23, 1957 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Rose & Martin J. Griffin had 5 children, Mary Ellen, James Patrick, John Joseph, Martin Francis and Rose E. Griffin. They raised their children in Charlestown, Suffolk County, Boston, Massachusetts.

When, I seen my great grandmother's Rose McDevitt's baptismal record, I found out her maiden name is spelled McDaid and not McDevitt as it was spelled once she immigrated to the United States.

Would love to hear from anyone with information on this McDevitt / McDaid Family or anyone with information on Rose's mother Mary O'Donnell's family.

I have attached a copy of Rose McDaid 's Baptismal Record as well as copy of her parents Patrick McDaid & Mary O'Donnell's marriage record.

As you can see from these records the spelling of Rose's maiden name is not spelled as McDevitt as it was in the United States, but instead it is spelled as McDaid.
