Biography

Thomas Richard Carey, the son of Irish immigrants Michael Carey and Margaret Burke, was born on 8 August 1854 at New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana, USA.^[1]

Thomas married Charlotte Mary Bogan, daughter of S. H. Bogan and Sarah F Williams, on 12 June 1878 in New Orleans. Witnesses were Thomas McCarthy and H. Bogan. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Father E. J. Foltier.^[2][3] They had three known children, all born in New Orleans:

1. Hugh Joseph Carey, b. 1879
2. Viola M. Carey, b. 1882
3. Mary Lillian Carey, b. 1884

Thomas and Charlotte probably divorced sometime between 1884 and 1889.^[4] She remarried to Patrick Murray on 11 November 1889 in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana.^[5]

By the time of the 1900 census, taken a few months after Charlotte's death,^[6] Thomas and his children were living in New Orleans with the family of his sister and brother-in-law, the O'Neills. Thomas was "widowed", and his occupation was a streetcar driver.^[4] He was still living with the O'Neills in 1910, working as an officer for the Juvenile Court.^[7]

Thomas died 13 February 1912 in New Orleans.^[8] He was buried at St. Patrick Cemetery No. 3.^[9]
