John McIlrath, died btwn. 1940 &1949
John McIlrath married Mary Russell or Rossell. Lived in the Kensington section of Phila. Pa. Mary was supposed to have come from Glasglow, Scotland. John was from Ireland. Their Childrens names were Margaret, Irma, Mable, Gordon, Jeannie, John, Albert, Mary. There was one Child Name Peter, who the McIlrath's had taken in or Adopted. John McIlrath was supposibly to own a Taven,Inn,or Bar in this area of Phila. The lived in the Cambria St. area. Mary the child also was to had died in adrowning accident in Atlantic City, at the age of 4. Mary Russell was to have come to the United States when she was 16 years old. We do not know if she was married then or not. We do know that Mary McIlrath was not a United States Citizen, She had to registar with emmigrations in Phila. every year. We would like to know if John had Brothers and Sisters, Also finding any information on the name of McIlrath Family of Phila. has Been very difficult and frustrating. Because we don't know that much on our Grandfather, because of his death before we were born. and there was not much mention of him as we were growing up. We have tried different searches, but have had no luck. We believe he died in Phila., but do not know where or how.
