Correction made following receipt of this email from Karen Fuller ((XXXXX@XXXX.XXX)) Sat, Apr 18, 2015.
Finding Matthew's parents info has always been a challenge. Specifically, I do not believe that the parents you list for him are correct [Dennis and Sarah Maher]. I am in possession of a copy of his Death Certificate (Dept of Health, Borough of Brooklyn, Cert # 6019) which lists his parents as Thomas Maher (born Ireland) and Elizabeth Carroll (born Ireland). Here is the family history as related by 2 of his daughters, Bessie (Elizabeth) (ID: I57463) and Isabelle (ID: I57469):
Isabelle (Belle) Wood Poinier (ID: I57296) was disowned by the Poinier family when she married Matthew because "he was a poor Irish orphan. He was one of 5 children, and his parents, brothers and sisters died of TB when he was 1 1/2 years old. He then came to the US with relatives, but shortly after arriving here, the relatives died. He grew up in an orphanage." Interestingly, in all census records and on his death certificate, his birthplace is listed as "United States." Perhaps given his orphan status and age, that simplified matters for all concerned.
This probably explains why you list multiple possible birth dates for Matthew. According to our family bible, Matthew (Matt) Jerome Maher was born 25 Oct 1861 and died 15 Mar 1941. Belle died 2 Feb 1939 in Brooklyn, NY. They are buried in the family plot together in Evergreen Cemetery in Brooklyn NY Lot 188, Plot 2. I have posted photos of the gravesite on Find A Grave.
Thank you again. Karen Maher Fuller My father (Richard Poinier Maher) was the son of Matthew Jerome "Cubby" Maher.
