Greetings,
The 1910 census for Chicopee lists Margaret KILRAIN 54, b NY. She was the unmarried Head of household, keeping a boarding house at 19 Broadway. With her is a nephew, James C. KILRAIN, 12 or 13, b MD [father b NY, mother b MA].
My theory is that James is the son of Jake KILRAIN [aka John Joseph KILLION] and Elizabeth HOAR, who lived in Baltimore in 1900 with son James C. b. Nov. 1896, and in Quincy, Norfolk Co. MA with James C. age 22 in 1920. The birthplaces & ages fit.
In 1920 a widowed aunt, Margaret KENYON age 58, is living with Dr. John T. REYNOLDS, wife Mary [KILRAIN] and family in Quincy MA.
My questions: Was Margaret KILRAIN married to a KENYON and widowed in Chicopee or Springfield between 1910 and 1920? Any ideas for searching online to narrow things down?
Thanks, Barb Glassel
