My search is leading me to believe that my grandmother took the name McCabe because she stayed with a Miss Rosy on St Catherine St, Miss Rosey may be the Rose Smith McCabe that you speak of in your reply. I'm begining to think that my grandmother did not know her parents. Have you heard any stories of a Mary or Marie that lived in that household, she was a mixed race child who was called "Pick", she was born in July 1900.
