My Great Uncle Bill Whalen (Brother of George J Whalen) Engagement:
Jan 02 1917  Newburgh Newspaper  Bottom Right Corner just under "Young Wife Dies in St Luke's Hospital" article in  " Engagements Announced"
" Engagement Announced  -  Announcement was made of the engagment of Miss Mary Barclay and William Whalen and Miss Emily Bond and Walter Gidney on New Year's Day. Both Miss Barclay and Miss Bond are employed in the Schoomaker store. Mr. Gidney is an employe of the Coldwell Lawn Mower Company."
 
 

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS TO RESEARCH FURTHER:

Where was William and Mary Ann Kelly Married    ( I believe St Peter's Church in Pok. NY)

Where are Vincent and Mary buried?    When and Where were they born?

What does the "F" stand for in William "F" Whalen?

Where was William F Whalen Born?    I believe on Gifford Ave in Pok. NY but I do not have any documented proof.

Where was Mary Ann Bridget Kelly Whalen Born? I heard LaGrange and LaGrangeville Dutchess Co. NY but I do not have any proof.

Need Dennis O'Callaghan birth place, marriage date and place,
Need Anna Dwyer "Granny" birth place

Where/When was Michael Whalen and Catherine O'Holohan Born

What is the proper spelling for Catherine Holohans last name?

Need Mary Ann Bridget Kelly parents names.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

NOTES:
As of June 02 2900 Mary Ann was living with her parents, Michael and Catherine at #36 Gifford Ave Pok.NY, She was a Single, White, Female who worked at a Factory. She could Read, Write and speak English

During the 1880 Census McGowans lived at 41 Gifford Ave which is nearly diagnal from the Whalen family who resided at 36 Gifford Ave.

In 1880 while Frank McGowan lived at 41 Gifford Ave, which I believe was a two story two family house the family that shared the house was "Another Whalen Family"  To date I do not know of a connection between the Whalens who lived at 36 Gifford and the Whalen's who lived at 41 Gifford Ave.
John and Maria Whalen lived along side the Frank McGowan family. John who died about 1878 and Maria where also from Ireland and had a few teenage childen.  Maria at the age of 40 was a widow in 1880.  John and Maria had Mary, Hannah, Maggie and little John. All of the children where born in NY but the parents where born in Ireland. Maria was born about 1840 and John born in Ireland about 1835.

Just down the street from all these families was yet ANOTHER !! Whalen family.  Living at 29 Gifford Ave in 1880 was Daniel and Maggie Whalen along with their Daughter Julia.  Both parents and child where born in Ireland which would indicate that this family had to leave Ireland just about 1865.

OUR GENERATION AND OUR FUTURE
 

An observation was made by members of our families that the Headstones located in Calvary Cemetery are NOT properly marked. The headstones do not indicate who are buried in each of the plots. Most of the original plots are currently full but do not reflect the names our our ancestors buried in them. It is my opinion that a collection be take up from any/all relatives to establish a fund to have the names inscriped on the headstones and maybe even pictures of the individuals.  The grave plots/headstones I am refering to are Calvary Cemeterey   "O'Callaghan, George J Whalen, and William F Whalen"
I have compiled a list of those relatives that are buried in each plot. CLICK HERE TO SEE WHO IS BURIED WHERE!
Though the cemetery and our family plots are well taken care off, it would behoove each of us to occassionally stop by the cemetery and double check the condition of the ground surface (no sinking ground) grass cut and headstones cleaned. Some of the headstones are sinking into the ground and may in the future need to be raised and leveled.
 

THE MAKE UP OF OUR GENERATION:
    (types of occupations and numbers of each)
 
 

 Pok.  means Poughkeepsie, New York
 

Michael Whalen Born April about 1844 Ireland
   married: Nov. 23 1863 St. Peters Church Poughkeepsie
   died July 31 1908   at 36 Gifford Ave. Pok. NY
 Pok.Policeman from  May 10, 1876  until   Aug. 12 1907
Michael’s wife Catherine Holohan Born April   about 1844 Ireland
     died  June 23 1912  at 36 Gifford Ave Pok.NY
 Catherine’s mother: Mary Hoolahan  Born:  about 1808
        died April 24 1884
 

POSSIBLE Brothers/Sisters/ Relatives:
Timothy
 
 

On 4th June 1880 Martin was living with his brother at 36 Gifford Ave.
 In this house was Michael, wife Katie, Katie’s mother-Mary Holohan, Willie,thomas,julia,mary,john
  brother  Martin,wife Mary, Katie,Timothy,Mary A., Julia.
 That’s two Katies, two julia’s , three Mary’s.  for a total of 14 people in what appeared to be a three bedroom house. Two families and a “mother-in-law The style and age of house would suggest that they had a walk up attic and probably a basement. My great aunt spent her childhood summer their said that they had a back yard with vegetable garden and chickens.”

The 1880 census stated that Martin could no write, which was common back then.  Many of the Irish that came over were suppressed by the English for many years and were not taught in a formal setting. The vast majority were starving by the time they arrived. They had safety in numbers and relied on each other for support, shelter and food.   Timothy(Martins oldest son, worked at a shoe factory at the age of 14 ( that right fourteen years old) working in the factories.

What is also interesting is that another family of Whalens lived on the same street. Maria Whalen  (widow at age 40 in 1880) lived across {41 Gifford Ave) the street and two houses down from Michael and Martin. Maria had four children.(Mary, Hannah, Maggie, and John).  I find this TOO COINCIDENTAL, plus  at {29 Gifford Ave} was  A THIRD WHALEN Daniel with wife Maggie and daughter Julia.

To recap Gifford Ave on 1880:
 Two Katie Whalen
 Three Julia Whalens’
 Three Mary's, one Maria Whalen
 Two John Whalens’
 Two Maggie Whalens’
  For a grand total of 21 individual Whalens’ in 4 families on Gifford Ave.  I find this VERY<VERY INTERESTING.  THEN THEIR IS ANOTHER SEVEN (7) WHALEN FAMILIES WITH three blocks of Gifford.
 John Whalen and wife Barbara at Delafield St.   just down from Gifford
  Martin and Mary lived at 17 Delafield road in 1891.
 Richard at 107 North Bridge St.
 Joseph at 85 North Bridge St.
 Patrick at 75 North Bridge
 Catherine at 56 North Bridge
 Ellen at 52 North Bridge
 Richard at 34 Pine St.
 Mary at 27 Masion St.
 Maggie at 181 Main St.
 Bridge at 200 Main St.
 Ann at 366 Main St.
 John at 148 Clinton St.
 Revian at 146 Clinton St.
 Kate at 324 Mill St.

 The pattern is quite clear  that the families lived very close to each other and didn’t venture to far from their kin.  Granted that some of these people may not be related to each other but I have very strong feeling that they all know each other and may be cousins. All of the females listed above with the addresses were widows by 1880 and many have three or four children.   How could some many, Five, families live together (North Bridge Street) with the same last name in such a vast growing city and NOT BE RELATED???
