1. | MCGAHEY, David William was born in 1865 in Northern Ireland (son of MCGAHEY, Robert and Martha); died before 1900. Notes:
Cause of death: appendicitis
He was a farmer and had a farm in Brownsville, Ontario, Canada.
May have died in 1898 because the 1930 Census entry for Robert McGahey says Robert became a US citizen in 1898. This Census entry also indicates Robert's father was born in Northern Ireland.
Christopher's Canadian birth record indicates his father was 30 when he was born.
This is from the 1881 Census:
