• Notes

  His Baptismal name on Ellen's death certificate shows "A" but on his tomb "E" is shown. We do not know what either letter stand for. The first child we know of was born in Dec. 1869 and if Charles had married one year prior to this birth he would have been 16 or17 years old and his wife 15 or 16 years old. He was a young man of 32 years when he died. We were told by Gertrude Fitzgerald, niece of Ellen Fitzgerald, that he was a fireman. In the1880 Census, he and his family lived at 1301 Toulouse St., N.O.,La. and it shows that his occupation was Mechanic and that Bridget Fitzgerald, grandmother, lived with them. He left a wife and three small sons. It also shows his father was born in South Carolina and his mother was born in Ireland. ( We were told by Gertrude Fitzgerald, niece of Ellen Fitzgerald, that Charle s father didn t like the "manners, dress & hats in N.O. & US and left N.O. to go back to live in Ireland. Getrude, a first cousin of George, Sr., told us this in 1984 and she did not recall the date that Charle s father went back to Ireland. We think something is wrong here and that more research is needed.) The 1880 Census shows his father was born in So.Carol. and his mother was born in Ireland. We know from his death certificate that he died on a N.O. street, Orleans, between Prier and Roman Streets. The cause of death was Ascites. (Ascites=accumulation of fluids between the abdomen wall and the outer wall of the stomach. Could have been caused by many things-yellow fever or other type of fever- rupture-drinking excesive amounts of alcohol.) He is buried in Lot #14, Cyrpt #34,Greenwood Cemetery. Cyrpt door conatins bronze lettering showing he was a member of the "Philadelphia Fire Company No.14" and that he was born "1 Jan,1852"and died "21 June 1884". These dates differ from the official records.
