John Lawler

According to the 1900 Census (roll 1452, book 1, page 295) Catherine and her husband, John Lawler, a seafaring man, lived at 1933 S. Marshall St., Phila, PA at the time of the Census. She stated that she was the mother of 9 children and 6 were still living. Two of their children, Mary (35) and Thomas (26) a laborer, lived at home at that time. Her brother, Patrick and his wife, Ellen, lived with Catherine in their later years. (In the 1870 Census Roll 139, Book 1, page 40, a John Lawler (seaman) aged 43 years, born in Ireland lived in Philadephi. Hiswife Kate, 31 years born in Ireland, lived with him. They had 4 children living with them, Mary (8) at scool, Kate (5), Ellen (4 yrs - same name as her mother) and Margaret (2 yrs). The ages for John, Kate, and Mary do not match the ages from the 1900 Census, but the names, occupations, birth places are similar.)
