Lynn:
Sorry took so long to reply. Im not a member of ancestry.com and for the last year & a half life's been a little crazy in addition to overwhelming. And because of this, I have been keeping up on my family's genealogy. My Mother's a Carew from Newark, NJ - Father's Charles A Carew & Mother's Mary L. Phillips Carew also from Newark, NJ. I posted a note to your Carew's of Orange NJ today with alittle more detail on my side. From review more of your postings, it appears we're not related at all. I will ask both my parents if they remember anything about the Carews from South Orange. My father's James Francis Caffrey, III from Thomas Street, Newark, NJ and later lived in Irvington, NJ. He's a retired funeral director. My parents say during the 20's-60's & in the areas of Newark to the Oranges to Maplewood/Irvington and as far south as Avon, NJ & even into NYC it was a common occurence to seeother families with last names of Carew & even Caffrey; but no relationship to us. If I learn anything to help you, I'll be in touch. M.A. Caffrey @ cmyoas@yahoo.com
