Biography

Margaret (Cashin) McCormack was born in Ireland.

Margaret (Cashin) McCormack migrated from Ireland to United States.

Margaret "Maggie" Cashin was born on 28 September 1871 in Graystown, County Tipperary, Ireland. Her parents were Patrick Cashin and Ellen Finnane.^[1][2]

She arrived in New York circa 1889^[3] and married James (Cormack) McCormack approximately five years later, on 28 April 1895.^[4] Their known children are:

• Dennis James (McCormack) McCormick - (1896-1951)
• Nellie (McCormack) Walsh - (1898-1954)
• Annie McCormack - (1900-1901)
• William Clementine McCormack - (1901-1919)
• Mary Anne "Marie" (McCormack) Dunn - (1903-1991)
• Margaret McCormack - (1905-1906)

The 1900 U.S. Census and 1905 New York Census both show James and Maggie McCormack living in a tenement at 226 West 61st Street, Manhattan, New York.^[5][6] James is listed as a Boilermaker. Other relatives living nearby include Maggie's sister, Catherine "Kate" Hackett, and a brother, William Francis Cashin.

On 23 November 1908, Maggie Cashin was admitted to St. Luke's Hospital with pulmonary tuberculosis.^[7] She died five months later, on 30 April 1909.^[8] She and her husband are buried in Calvary Cemetery (Section 18, Plot Z, Grave 6) in Woodside, Queens, New York.^[9]

Research Notes

There is a "Maggie Cashin", age 17, who arrived in Manhattan, New York on The Germanic in 1890. Coincidentally, she appears to be travelling with a 23-year-old "Michael Finnan" - perhaps a cousin? ( Freeth-52 09:51, 30 June 2016 (EDT) )

Some online family trees list a seventh child named Aloysius Matthew McCormack who was born in 1907 and claims to be the son of James McCormack/Maggie Cashin on his 1926 marriage record. Perhaps this is what he was told. However, his NYC birth certificate lists his mother as 17-year-old Thomasine McCormick and his birthplace as Misericordia Hospital on 86th Street. Could Thomasine have been a relative of James and/or Maggie McCormack? I will create a separate profile to try and explore his ancestry. - Freeth-52 06:16, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
