Biography

Rose (nee McGuire) Carr was born in Dover, Morris County, New Jersey around 1848. Rose was the daughter of Irish immigrant parents, William and Susan McGuire.

Rose married Irish immigrant Thomas Carr in April, 1867 in the town of Randolph, Morris County, New Jersey. Catholic minister Rev. John Callan officiated the wedding.

Rose and Thomas would live their next 18+ years in Randolph before relocating to the City of Paterson, Passaic County, New Jersey at some point between 1885 and 1900. The marriage of Rose and Thomas resulted in the birth of at least nine known children (Mary, Susan, Rose, James, Margaret, John, William Joseph, Lena (Ellena) & Thomas).

She died at the home of her daughter Helen (Ellena/Lena) Noonan ("Mrs. Henry Noonan"), 127 Spring Street, Passaic, Passaic County, New Jersey. According to Rose's obituary, she had been living at her daughter's for about 10 years at the time of her death.

- Added 1850 U.S. Census for Randolph Township, Morris County, New Jersey. Rose Ann, who was born in New Jersey, is identified here as "Rosannah," age five, which would mean a birth year of about 1845.

Another individual lived in the household; a 44 year-old woman, also named Rosannah. I cannot read her last name.

- Added State of New Jersey marriage record for Rose Ann McGuire ("Rosa" in the marriage record) and Thomas Carr (recorded as Thomas "Cann" in the index but clearly "Carr" in the actual record).
