<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 11844111, member: 33&quot;]There is a second Mary Ahern of an appropriate age who lived in Portland. Her entry in the 1950 U.S. census shows her as a widow, born about 1882, living with one daughter and a sister with the last name of Brown.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a record in Find A Grave for Mary Agnes (Brown) Ahern. See <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/120712389/mary-agnes-ahern" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/120712389/mary-agnes-ahern" rel="nofollow">https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/120712389/mary-agnes-ahern</a></p><p><br /></p><p>She lived from 1882-1960, and is the same person listed in the 1950 census. Somebody copied a brief obituary into the Find A Grave record. It says she was survived by four children, all four of whom have memorial records in Find A Grave. (It is possible that there were other children who died earlier. Find A Grave is a volunteer project, and is never considered to be complete.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The records of the four children in Find A Grave also include some obituaries at times. At least one of them was survived by children. So this Mary did have grandchildren. Also, her husband died in 1941, so the &quot;Mrs. Mary&quot; did indicate that she was a widow.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other Mary Ahern also has a memorial in Find A Grave. Her name there is listed as Mary J &quot;Minnie&quot; Ahern. It appears that she was not married, and had no children, as [USER=1476]@Debora[/USER] determined. <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/44627881/mary-j-ahern" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/44627881/mary-j-ahern" rel="nofollow">https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/44627881/mary-j-ahern</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
