Lynn married MCGAHEY, Rosina Isabelle on 24 Aug 1919 in Niagara Falls, Niagara County, NY. Rosina (daughter of MCGAHEY, David William and WAGNER, Barbara) was born on 19 Nov 1896 in New York; died on 29 May 1972 in Los Angeles County, CA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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:

Name Marital Status Gender Ethnic Origin Age Birthplace Occupation Religion
David MCGAHEY M Male Irish 60 Ireland Farmer Presbyterian
Martha MCGAHEY M Female Irish 60 Ireland Presbyterian
Robert MCGAHEY Male Irish 28 Ireland Farmer Presbyterian
Mary MCGAHEY Female Irish 25 Ireland Presbyterian

Notes:

Still alive in 1880 Census - Death date was showing as 4/18/1864 - must be 1884; from June 6/25/2007:

When I found out via a postcard German town might be Laichingen I wrote
to the Evang. Church and got page of info.

Wagner Johannes Georg b. 27 July 1828 Seissen, Baden-Württemberg, Ger.
Father: Johannes Georg, Seissen, Wurt.,Ger.
Mother: Elisabetha Mutchler -Seissen, Wurt., Ger.

2)Rosina/Rose d.12 July 1909 Burial: Elmlawn Cemetery, Married: 12
Nov.1881 Eugene Elsasser on Census & cemetery info.

6)Frederick John Wagner - burial stone says Frederick. I never could
find Frances. She probably remarried.

7)Chistuff/Christopher John Wagner b.1 Mar.1874 d.31 May 1945 Bachelor.
Move to Ca in 1910. I have the cemetery info.

Rosina Wagner, Barbara McGahey, Frederick Wagner all buried on same lot.
David McGahey is buried in Canada.

B) I have be looking for the birth of Jungs for about 50 years. The
original church built about 1867 burned and was destroyed. The women who
kept the records died and no body knows what happened to them.

Lizzie Wagner is married to William Walker. She died 20 June 1895, age
about 38. I have checked the Jungs I sent you Sat. and I am beginning to
think records are not part of the Mormon records and the German man went
to the place in Bavaria where such records are kept.

Johannes + BAUM, Rosina. Rosina (daughter of BAUM, Georg Friedrich and MACK, Margaretha) was born on 22 Jan 1832 in Laichingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany; died on 18 Oct 1912 in Niagara Falls, Niagara County, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Listed as Mary Merringer in 1910 census living with daughter, Barbara. Shows immigration in 1852.
1900 Census lists Rosina Merringer with husband Michael - shows married 46 years and had 10 children with 2 children living. This would put her original marriage at 1854 which would mean she married Johannes Wagner in the United States. Also in 1900 shows her immigration date as 1853.
