« on: October 17, 2009, 05:58:35 AM »
Michael McDermott married Catherine Rice on Aug. 25 1849. one witness listed: Margret Rice. I know of no children (not a surprise I don’t have lots of post 1850 info).

Bernard and Bridget Rice had a daughter (in Millbury) and lost her a year later to Lung Fever. Sarah Rice was about 1 year 9 months old when she died on Dec. 27 1860. A mis-used ditto is responsible for her being listed as being buried in Rural Cemetery.

You state: "Hugh (1797 – Dec. 1877) and Alice Rice lived in Sutton in 1855. They were from Ravensdale Co. Louth. They had Myrtle born 1852."

Sutton Vital Records show that Hugh & Alice (Trainor) Rice also had a son Michael J Rice born 15 Nov 1852. Myrtle & Michael would have to be twins? Do you know of any reason why the different way they were listed (Vol 4 vs 1852 Sutton birth records)? I know of no other information about Myrtle. Perhaps she died at birth?

Thanks

The info I got for Myrtle Rice came from the 1855 census. Could easily be a bad transcription, error by the census taker, or my error. Sorry to be so late in responding to your question, I meant to get back to it and forgot. ::)
