    Default Family in USA

    My Grandmother was born in the USA along with her sisters. But her mother was born in the UK.
    I have found a marriage certificate for the mother and father. I think he was either Canadain or American.
    Wheredo i start to look for him. I have done some searches but he doesn't appear.

    Hugh Maguire. B1884ish

    He was a Cook, Canadian Colonial and a Soldier.
    Married Alice Baldwin in London when he was staying a "Seaford Camp"

    Thats all i have. (Apart from the children in the family)

    There is a border crossing for Irene M Maguire, Canada to USA in 1919.

    The entry very clearly says McQUIRE so it's worth bearing in mind when doing searches.

    There is also a Hugh Maguire on a border crossing, August 1919, Canada, Niagara Falls , New York.

    He is 35 born in Quebec.

    Race or people: Irish

    It doesn't say that they are from Massachusetts, that is their final destination.

    Here is Hugh in 1910, there is another Hugh (Can French) in Massachussetts but given the town I think this is the right one.

    Found the crossing papers for Hugh MaGuire.

    It states that he is accompanied by wife and daughter, Alice and Irene M.

    He had lived in the US from 1896 to July 1914.

    Place of birth Blythe, Ontario, Canada, but last residence was Quebec.

    He had $70 on him.

    They were going to Chicopee, to his father, John J.



    There are Attestation papers for a Hugh Maguire from Blythe Ontario, born January 20th 1884. Same complexion, hair and eyes.
    This was in 1914.

    But his father is listed as Joseph Maguire. ?


    Hope this is the family you are looking for.

    Giveover I noticed that attestation, also that he was a mechanic which would fit with the Hugh in Chicopee.

    Here is the family in 1900 his mother is married but no sign of her husband.

    Southwick, Chicopee Ward 5, Hampden, Massachusetts

    Here are the other births in Ontario with the same parents, it would seem to fit the family in Massachussetts

    Luticia Magdalene Maguire 30 Jun 1891 Female Huron Joseph Maguire Mary Rice
    Mary Jane Maguire 24 Mar 1874 Female Lambton Joseph Maguire Mary Rice
    Thomas Maguire 7 Oct 1879 Male Huron Joseph Maguire Mary Rice
    William James McGuire Maguire 18 Feb 1888 Male Huron Joseph Maguire Mary Rice
    Hugh McGuire Mc Guire 20 Jan 1884 Male Huron Joseph Mc Guire Mary Rice
    Elizabeth McGee 30 Nov 1881 Female Huron Joseph McGee Mary Rice
    Joseph McGuire 25 Apr 1872 Male Lambton Joseph McGuire Mary Rice

    EDIT: As an afterthought perhaps his dad was John Joseph? That would explain the difference in Christian names.
