  • lost in 1880

    Looking for John TAGGART in the US 1880 census. Born Ireland, 12 Apr 1845 (1844?);

    married Maria Getty (born Pennsylvania, 1854), 1873, Chicago.

    Child Lyda O, born Chicago, 1874; next child I know of was born 1881(also in Chicago), but in the 1900 census, Maria reported she was mother of 5, I know of only 4.

    I suspect they were in Chicago, and the enumerator's writing was difficult, and it's been mistranscribed.

    thanks

        Oops, that's not my Maria (Getty) Taggart - she died in Chicago in the 30's.

        Yeah, they're hiding, but thanks for looking

          I can't see anything Sarah, but I would suspect as the 'missing' child was born/died inbetween Lyda and Bessie

          I did find a birth though..

              If you look at the images on Familysearch, the child born in 1883 was their 4th, and the one in 1885 was their 5th. Sorry can't post links as Familysearch isn't playing at the moment.

                  poo it don't say on the 1874 birth which number child it is, but as a guess it was the first as they married in 1873 I think it was.

                        I think this is a strong contender for the dead child :

                        John Alexander Taggar, died August 13 1879. Same area as birth cert for John Alexander b. 1883, same doctor.

                        https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3....134&wc=4910877 or https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N728-V3X

                          Yes, they are ALL in the same family - and yes, that's definitely the missing child! I spent last night looking thru the proper enumeration district for a different house number - they must have moved across the street at some point. Now I'll try the ED for this house number!

                          Thank you one & all

                            Well, I've now looked at the two addresses I know of for them near the time of the 1880 census - no joy. I mostly believe they were skipped in the census, or the loss of their son inspired a trip. But they were back in time for the birth of their next child in 1881 - ?

                            Thanks again
