1901 Tierney Family @ 55 Weld Street
1906 Tierney Family @ 53 Weld Street

1908/22 Tierney Family @ 208 Lyndhurst Street
______________________________________________________

Edward J. Tierney (Pa Tierney) & Winifred (Maloney) Tierney (Ma Tierney) lived @ 208 Lyndhurst Street till 1921. Then in 1922 they purchased a single home & moved to 1489 Culver Road @ the corner of Westchester Avenue & Culver Road and Edward died there that year. Then in 1926 Winifred Tierney a widow purchased a double House @ 1448 Culver Road and into this home moved Joe Tierney, Bettsy Tierney & later Edward Tierney Junior leaving his Wife Helen, lived with Ma Tierney, till she died in November 19,1935. Betsy & Joe continued to live in this home @ 1489 Culver Road. till 1926 and then moved to the home @ 1448 Culver Road, till their deaths:
Joseph 1952 & Betsy in 1968.

I checked the Rochester Directory a second time and there is no listing for Westchester Ave......but the death notice below shows him living @ 1489 Culver Road at the time of death, so I assume they moved from 208 Lyndhurst Street in 1921 or early in 1922.

Misc. Notes
___________________
Information should exist at St. Marys' Church as to Winfred Marriage Date and the Birth of her children.......Suzanne Tierney had checked & received this information, which agrees with the above dates..
___________________

The 1860 Rochester Census lists Winfred as 9 years old = born in 1851 or 1852

I looked @ Records going back to 1849
The following information came from the Rochester Directory @ Main Library
the family history of James is difficult to follow, he disappears off the records in late 1855 / 1856
I found no record of a Winfred Maloney working......She was married at the age of 19....I would have thought that at lest one or two years before marrige her name would shown up on the record?
_________________________
in the 1900 U.S. Census Winfred Tierney was listed as born Nov. 1851, 49 years old, Married 29 years, gave birth to 11 children with 9 children now living, born in New York State, Mother & Father born in Ireland.
