Misc. Notes
There is great confusion on the last name:
Mary Walsh Tierney, birth certificate, of Aug. 5 1890 listed Mary Stafford as her Mother
Florence Walsh O’Keefe, birth certificate, of June 25, 1894 listed Mary Kelly
Billy & Margaret O'Keeke remember her name as "Keller"/letter from Joe O'Keefe Jan. 19,1989
Jim Williams interview paper with his Grandmother was told...Mary Keller
Death Certificate listed her Father's name = " Not ascertained, Stafford"
Death Certificate listed her Mother's name = " Not ascertained"
The Death Certificate information came from William E. O'Keefe
You Pick the correct one .....I am going with Stafford, because I have two documents with ths name.
_____________________________________________________
Mary Stafford was born on the day President Lincoln was shot,4/14/1865,
this is the story told by her daughter "Maime" to her daughter Mary.
Death Certificate.....said Mary born July 1, 1865
Lincoln Shot.....................................April 14, 1865
Lincoln Died.................................... April 15, 1865
National Day of Mourning..................June 1, 1865
So we have some confusion here with memory & records.
But tis true she was born @ the time all of America was focused on the death of President Lincoln.
_______________________________________________________________________
Mary Theresa was a practical nurse in Ireland, and she sailed to Montreal, Canada with a patient she was attending. She met William H. Walsh her husband to be on the Ship during this sea voyage from England..........probably around 1884..1885.?
______________________________________________________
There exists some confusion as to William H. Walsh taking a second wife about 1892 because of Flossies' Birth Certificate which lists her Mothers Name as Mary Kelly.
So...Did Mary Stafford die between Birth of Mary & Flossie 1890 & 1893
My answer is NO!...that this must be considered as an error by the Church Scribe.........
or was her name really "Keller" & the clerk wrote "Kelly" ?
______________________________________________________
The Death Certificate of Mary Walsh stated that her length of stay in Rochester New York was 41 years........if she died in 1943, 43-41 = 2 which says Mary was living in Rochester from 1902 till her death in 1943.

1913 .......Mary Walsh......a Nurse....@ 63 Greig Street
1917 .......Mary Walsh......a Nurse....@ 113 Frankfort Street
But Mary T. Walsh was a practical Nurse not an R.N. & probably would not have been listed as a Nurse in the Directory also a Mary T. Walsh is shown living in Rochester as a wife but widow to William Henery Walsh......so there !

The 1925 NYS Census, Monroe Co. Rochester NY, @ 65 Rosewood Terrace:

Florence E. O'Keefe, Wife, 30, Born US, Housework
William D. O'Keefe, Son, 11, Born US, School
Margaret O'Keefe, Daughter, 8, Born US, School
Mary Walsh. Mother-in-Law, 58, Born Ireland,
Has lived in US for 42 years, Naturalized in 1885, a Trained Nurse
This data on Mary does not seem correct 1925-42 = 1883.........This says she has been a US Citizen since 1883.......but we know Elizabeth (Lillian) was born in Canada in Dec. of 1888.
Did she mean she left Ireland 42 years ago........?
What does the Naturalization date of 1885 relate to...........Canada???
What if the 42 was a mistake & should have been 32 years which would mean 1925-32 = 1893, that in 1893 she was was Naturalized.....and she Imigrated from Ireland for Canada in 1885. Eh???
Naturalization is the process by which an alien becomes an American citizen. It is a voluntary act, naturalization is not required. As a general rule, naturalization was a two-step process that took a minimum of 5 years. After residing in the United States for 2 years, an alien could file for a "declaration of intent" to become a citizen. After 3 additional years, the alien could "petition for naturalization." After the petition was granted, a certificate of citizenship was issued to the alien.
As a general rule, the "decelaration of intent" generally contains more genealogically usefull informationthan the "petition."
