Classification: Query
Surnames: MAHER
Looking for crossing info on Francis Joseph MAHER born in Canada (English) about 1869. 1880 census shows him living in Cleveland, Ohio with his mother Julia. Says she is married but no husband is listed in the boarding house they are staying at. He married Bessie Lantz in Ohio but later the 1940 census shows Bessie was divorced. Trying to find out when he died and also where in Canada he was born and who his father was.

Have you found any additional information on Francis J. Maher and his possible Canadian birth? How about Francis J.'s Father?
I have asked my Aunt (Francis's Grand Daughter) about him but the death of Bernard C, at their early age, limits any first hand knowledge.
If you should find anything, please let me know.

I have no new info on Francis or his father. Are you a direct descendent of Bernard? May I ask who is your aunt? Vincent is my grandfather. My mother was Beatrice Maher. Please let me know if you find anything more. I appreciate the message.
