1878 - 1959 (81 years)
Generation: 1
1. | Mary FORREY was born on 16 Aug 1878 in New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA; was christened on 5 Sep 1978 in New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA (daughter of James FORREY and Mary GRACE); died on 3 Dec 1959 in Kerrville, Kerr, Texas, USA; was buried on 4 Dec 1959 in Galveston, Galveston, Texas, USA. Other Events:
- Name: Mamie Forrey
- Baptism: 5 Sep 1878, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA; St Michael's Catholic Church
- Residence: 14 Aug 1884, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA; St Vincent's Infant Orphan Asylum
- Residence: 1886, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA; New Orleans Female Orphan Asylum
- Residence: 1900, Galveston, Galveston, Texas, USA; 2315 Winnie
- Residence: 1920, San Antonio, Bexar, Texas, USA; Southwestern Insane Asylum
- Residence: 1930, San Antonio, Bexar, Texas, USA; Southwestern Insane Asylum
Notes:
Baptism: September 05, 1878, St. Michael Catholic Church, New Orleans - Sponsors were Patrick Donegan and Mary Donegan.
I found that Mary Forrey (DOB 8/16/1878) and Winnie (Regina Winifred) Forrey (DOB 8/22/1880) were both admitted to the St. Vincent's Infant Orphan Asylum in New Orleans on August 14, 1884. The Affidavit was signed by Ann Donegan (godmother) and stated that the mother was unable to care for them and find employment. It also stated that the father was dead. According to the Archdiocese of New Orleans, a notation was made that both girls were sent to the New Orleans Female Orphan Asylum in 1886, although there was no entry of their admission in their records.
I've talked with a Michael Donegan in New Orleans and have been e-mailing with a Jerry Donegan in New Orleans and they have both given me quite a bit of information on the Donegans. They seem to believe that the Donegans were from County Meath in Ireland. This is the first clue I have gotten as to where Mary Grace may have been from in Ireland. Since they were cousins, perhaps they were from the same County. I'll keep researching!
There is a George Donegan who is going to send me all of the information he has on the Donegans and he said that he has some information on Mary Grace also.
There is no way to know what happened to these girls while they were in the orphanage.
Mary married Claude F MULLEN in 1898 in Galveston, Galveston, Texas, USA. Claude (son of James MULLEN) was born on 3 Jan 1871 in Galveston, Galveston, Texas, USA; died on 9 Dec 1922 in San Antonio, Bexar, Texas, USA; was buried on 10 Dec 1922 in Galveston, Galveston, Texas, USA.

Notes:
I have quite a lot of information on the James Forrey family. James Forrey was my great grandmother's (Mary Grace) first husband. Try a search of the New Orleans, Louisiana 1880 census under the name Forey. It will list James, Mary Grace, Annie, Rose and Mary. After much research, I obtained baptismal certificates from St. Michael's Church in New Orleans for all three of the girls which gives their birth dates and their baptismal dates, along with the names of their sponsors. How do you know that James Forrey was born in County Mayo, Ireland and died in 1883? I have been searching the New Orleans Death Index, but have been unable to locate James Forrey. I know that Mary Grace married a William Murray (my great grandfather) around 1884-1885 in New Orleans and they moved to Galveston, Texas. You can locate them in the 1900 Galveston Texas Census under William Murray. That is how they ended up in Galveston. I hope someone reads this because I have been doing research for about the last year and this if the first time I have come across someone that is researching the same family I am. I hope you can e-mail me at gracesmith54 at sbcglobal.net. [deceased]

I am searching for any information about a Thomas Grace from County Meath, who died in the late 1850's there. He was married at the time, although I do not know his wife's name. They had 2 children, Mary Grace (born about 1853) and a male infant at the time of his death. His surviving spouse, daughter and infant son left Ireland shortly after his death and went to New Orleans, Louisiana to live with the surviving spouse's cousins, the Donegans. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Grace.
