Maloneys in the 1920 Federal Census for Rochester, NY and Jackson, MI

The 1920 Federal Census for Rochester shows my grandfather's family still at 54 Greig Street on line 70.  My grandmother, Bridget Josephine Hanley Maloney, had died in 1913 and my grandfather married Bridget's sister, Mary, in 1916. This census record has a column to add when a person immigrated but for Mary it is blank. All five of the Maloney children are included in this census: Mary, Helen, Catherine (sic), Joseph and Leo.

 Thomas Maloney, brother of my great-grandfather, Francis, is shown living at 1130 Lake Avenue in Rochester on line 47. In addition to Thomas is his wife, Katherine, and Katherine's sister, Lillian. The record lists Thomas' birthplace as Ireland but it is difficult to read the date given as when he immigrated. His wife is listed as being born in Canada.

Fred Maloney's sister, M. Frances (Aunt Frank) is listed in the 1920 census as living in the city of Jackson, MI on line 9.

Maloneys in the 1910 Federal Census for Rochester, NY and Jackson, MI

In the 1910 Federal Census for Rochester, New York, Maloneys related to me are found in three different census sheets and one for the Census for Jackson, Michigan. These are: (1) the family of my grandfather, Frederick, (2) the family of my great-granduncle, Michael, and (3) the family of my great-granduncle, Thomas. The census record for Jackson, MI contains my grandaunt, M. Frances - Aunt Frank.

My grandfather, Fred, and his family are shown living at 54 Greig Street in Rochester. Greig Street is still there but the block where the Maloneys lived is no longer there. I believe that the streets in the neighborhood were realigned when the Clarissa Street Bridge was replaced by the Ford Street Bridge. The Maloneys are found at line 93 and it includes my grandfather, Frederick; my grandmother, Bridget (listed as Josephine, her middle name); my mother, Mary, four years old; my Uncle Joe, three years old; my Aunt Helen, fourteen months old; my Uncle Leo, three months old; and my grandmother's sister, Mary, who married my grandfather when my grandmother died. Note that it states that Mary came to this country in 1890.

Michael J. Maloney, my great-grandfather's brother, and his wife, Margaret, are found at line 30, living at 81 Marshall Street.  That Marshall St. address is now Damian's Pub.  Note that Michael's entry says that he immigrated to this country in 1870 although entries for the Maloney in the Rochester City Direstory start as early as 1856. Keep in mind that we do not know who provided the information to the census taker.

The third Maloney in Rochester is my great-grandfather's brother, Thomas, listed on line 56 and living at 119 Frank Street.  Frank Street no longer exists in Rochester. It was located in the area of the current Kodak Offices. Note that Thomas is listed as immigrating in 1865 and above we noted that his brother, Michael, is listed as immigrating in 1875. In addition to Thomas's wife Catherine, is a nephew (probably related to Catherine) William Morgan and Catherine's sister, Lillian.

Edward Franklin Weed Papers

Edward Franklin Weed, a genealogist, did extensive research into the Weed family, a family of which my great-grandmother, Sarah Weed, was a member. Around 1900 Edward Weed sent questionnaires concerning their families to hundreds (possibly thousands) of Weeds. More than 800 completed questionnaires are at the New Canaan Historical Society in New Canaan, CT. In addition to the questionnaires are notes and letters sent to Mr. Weed from persons who completed the questionnaires. Among those are two 1902 letters from M. Frances Maloney of Detroit, my grandaunt. These letters are found after the jump.

Mr. Edward F. Weed,

   Dear Sir,
       Yours of recent date received and I trust you will pardon delay
in replying, as I had to write to my mother for the information requested,
and I don't know that it is very complete now.  My mother never knew much
about her fathers family, as they were all very reserved and distant in
their manners.  Her father was a very quiet man, and never troubled himself
much about relations.
     I will answer as many of your questions as possible.

My father, F. G. Maloney, born April 23-1841
 "   "     "  "     "     married May 10-1865
 "   "     "  "     "     died June 21-1872

My mother second marriage occurred July 9-1879
to John Wm. Hawkins, Jackson, Mich.
    "    "     "     born Winslow, Buckinghamshire, Eng. Apr. 21-1845
His father's name Wm. Hawkins - dead.
 "  mother's   "  Ann Wilmore -   "

Wm. R. Hawkins, born Jan. 10-1881
Harold F.  "     "   March 19-1884
Alice E. Hawkins born Mar. 21-1887

Agnes H. Weed, daughter of Jas. Levi Weed, not married, lives with her
mother Mrs. Laura E. Witman, 824 W. 7" St., Cincinnati, Ohio
Jessie Mary Weed, Chicago, & Ida Laura Weed-Shaw are also his daughters,
and Jas. Lloyd Weed is his son.  You can get all of their addresses by
writing Mrs. Laura E. Witman, their mother.

My mother doesn't remember her grandfather's sister.

These are the names of his brother Eber's children.  Cyrus W., Gunden,
Justin, Harriet, Libeus Woodworth.

Alonzo Weed-died at his uncle's, Cyrus Fellows.  Don't think he was
married.  Grandfather's brother Joseph lived in Oshkosh, Wis. and had
two children.  Justin the boy died when a baby.  The girl's name was
Mary, was living the last we heard.

Aunt Climena had one daughter who died when 3 years old.

My uncle Wm. A. Weed died, July-1899
 "  "    John Weed married but did not live with his wife long, had
no children.  Lived at Jackson, Mich. with my grandparents until his
death Aug. 18-1869.

   Trusting this may assist your a little in your work.  I am

                 Yours truly,
