      **
      Note: conflicting census data in 1870 and 1880 on whether she was born in Ireland or NJ.
      Note: death record (and 1900 census) says born in 1867, early census says 1865 (I pick latter)
      Note: census says immigrated 1870, I believe 1866 is closer

      Maureen,
      I have now located a death certificate of a definiterelative whose birth name was
      Catherine E. McDevitt with a dob of 4-5-1867. Her parents were John McDevitt and
      Susan (Doyle). According to the info on the death cert, both parent(s) and daughter
      were from Ireland.

      She lived and died in Philadelphia. Does any of this sound familiar?

      **
      I have been searching for my gf's family (McDevitt) and found that I have a relative
      whose birth name was Blanck and her mother's name was McDevitt. What is
      interesting is that her death cert. lists Samuel Blanck as her father. They lived in
      Philadelphia and she was married to John Deal. Her name was Mary E. Deal born
      5-21-1888.

      What is even more interesting is that I have the death cert of Catherine Blanck
      born 4-5-1867. Her parents are listed as McDevitt. She passed away in 1938and
      is buried in my gf's family plot. At the time of her death she was livingat 2637
      Gerrit St. in Phila. and in the 1920 census was listed as the mother-in-law to
      John Deal living with his wife Mary E. Deal.
      Does any of this help you and can you help me?

      another child George?
