My Aunt Cassie md a John Reddy c 1921
My grandmother Mary Doherty md William Ruddy in Donegal.They had 3 children, one was Cassie Ruddy.William died c 1892.my grandmother came to Boston and left the children in Ireland with her parents who raised them.Later she md her childhood friend, my grandfather in Oregon.The 3 Ruddy children came to oreg as adults.I knew the other two but not Cassie
Family lore has been she md a man of the same name and died in childbirth in Seattle.
I got her death certificate where was listed as Catherine Reddy.She died in Oct 1922 in childbirth, child died too.Says she was married but no name given, but had a Bennett St address.Went to Seattle City Directory for 1922 and found a John Reddy at that address with a wife Catherine. In 1923 Dir he was alone at that address.
I note a John Reddy of about right age on your NJ family.Do you think he came west?I am wondering if there might be another earlier child.
And I suppose they may have been cousins of some sort,Not that common of a nameReddy/Ruddy.
