Surname: Gallagher, Devlin
-------------------------

Am looking for my grgrgrandmother, Mary Gallagher, born RI 1850 or 51.
Father was Wm Gallagher. All I have is her marriage certificate 1868 in
IL stating that her father, Wm who lived in NY state gave authority to
a David Murphy to give permission for her to marry. She had one son 1869
and is on 1870 IL census. By 1880 census she no longer lives there but
son (11yo) does. Later found out that the son was raised by one of his
aunts and that Mary died (not sure where) early on and was buried back
east. Maybe NY? Back then could they ship a body from IL to NY? Maybe she
died in NY and husband brought son back to IL before 1880 census. What
a mystery! Can anyone help? Thanks.
