It's been over a year since I posted here, so I thought I would submit a new message.

My father, John Cadogan, b.1885 Steubenville, Ohio, d.1978 Brownsville, Texas, and Julia Quinet Bouffioux, b.1885 Belgium, d.1920 Clarksburg, West Virginia, were married July 14, 1919 in Clarksburg. On July 7, 1920, Julia died shortly after giving birth to a son Albert. His birth record shows his name as Albert McGuire Cadogan, though later he used the name of Albert Patrick McGuire.

Julia parents, Leon Quinet and Juliette Hemrotin came over from Belgium and lived in Harrison County, West Virginia. Baby Albert, instead of living with them, went to live with a Dr. John McGuire, family physician and close frilend, with the support of Albert's father John Cadogan.

When he was older, Albert wanted to change his name from Cadogan to McGuire. Rumor has it that he and his father argued about this, and he broke off contact with his father. We know that he took the name of McGuire, because when he graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1943, his name was shown as Albert Patrick McGuire.

Albert's father John Cadogan later married Estelle Koberlein, and moved to Rochester, New York. They are my parents.

It is only in recent years that I learned about Albert, since my father would not talk about him to us. The only facts we know about Albert is his birth information, and the fact that he graduated from Notre Dame. He is shown in the 1930 census for Harrison County, West Virginia as age 9, adopted, and living at 121 Second Street with Dr. McGuire. From his WW11 Army enlistment card, I learned that he enlisted in Cleveland, and was married at that time.

From the SSI, I learned that he died February 6, 1991. I would like to know when he was married, and to whom, and did he have a family. Where did he live for the rest of his life - in Cleveland, or Clarksburg, or elsewhere. I would appreciate any information available. Noreen Rose
