Rose B Carr

GEDCOM Note

According to Fred Riley in a letter to his neice Patricia Riley Alves, his Aunt Rose Carr Seigman, his mother Grace's sister was born in Syracuse, New York

However, in the 1920 census:

1920 Federal Census: Oregon, Multmonah County, Precinct 289, Portland City

Microfilm roll # 1503, vol. 25, ed185, Sheet 5, line 68

Siegman, John M Head ROSE wife f w 39 - Place of birth: OHIO; parents: Ireland/Ireland Joseph son 14 Place of birth: Washington John son 11 Place of birth: Washington

• CARRY, MARY m-in-law 65 Imm: 1880 Ireland/English; PARENTS:Ireland/Ireland [Other information -Ohio 1870 and 1880 census have Mary as 22 and 31, so by 1920 she is really at least 71; If Rose is Julia Grace Riley's older sister, she is likely Isabelle Rose, born in 1875 and therefore 45 in 1920. She therefore immigrated at least by 1870.

Additionally, Rose states that she was born in Ohio; Frederick Riley thought his Aunt Rose was born in Syracuse, but he must have been mistaken. He stated in a letter dated 3/9/86: " What puzzles me is that I recently discovered some info jotted down years ago (don't remember source) indicating that Patrick Carr and Mary Conniff were married inSyracuse, New York andthat my Aunt Rose (Mother's older sister) was born in Syracuse and went to school there." Wish he had noted his source, as it certainly is a contradiction of other records.
