Margaret Mcnamara wife of Jermiah Reardon (subject of previous post) certainly seems suspect of Cork nativity. (birth ??-Death 1866-1880) likely died in Charlestown section of Boston (Independent City, Middlesex County, Massachusetts before 5 Jan 1874), or Newton Massachusetts with possibility of Watertown or Cambridge as well. Several other McNamaras appear in records as wittness, neighbors in a two family home, and as gaurantors of estate administrators. Likely relations of Margaret are John McNamara b.1820, Daniel b.1830 - D.14 May 1910, and Jeremiah Joseph b.1836 - d. 6 Dec.1914. I am making an educated guess that these four individuals are siblings, but they could be cousins. The parents of Daniel are Jeremiah McNamara and Catherine Corcoran, information gained from Daniels record of death. Naturalization records for these McNamara men indicate origins in County Cork, without specific location. August 2013 Margarets husband Jermiah Reardon was located via findagrave.com intered in Catholic Mt. Auburn Cemetery (aka Sandbank Cem.), not sure if the address is Cambridge or Watertown Massachusetts, the cemetery is on the border of the two cities and is not part of the much larger and fancy Mount Auburn Cemetery. Jer. Reardon's informatio on findagrave seems to have come from The Archodiocese of Boston Archives, i do not know if any headstones exists at the grave. Anyone searching for Reardons can find many in that small cemetery. Margaret was likely married in America her two known children were Margaret 1865-1887 and Ellen Agnes 1866-1948. This family lived for many years at 414 Watertown Street, Newton Massachusetts establishing a gas staion there before WW1, there is still a gas station there today, it is about a half mile from where the Boston Bomber was recently captured hiding in a boat. Happy to share inf Good Luck Jim Houlihan
