• Birth Notes

  Al Luce - in email to me on 091002 says that this William Bellingham is recorded in the "Irish birth registrations" as the above date.  He is given as 14 in 1901 census = 1887.  And given as 23 in 1910 US census = 1887.
  
  I have his US Draft Registration Card where his birth is given as 26 Dec 1886 not 1885

William's father was Thomas Bellingham and his mother was Rachel Georgina [Lisheegan] MacKay.  His paternal grandparents were Thomas Bellingham and (Margaret or Mary) Jane McCart; his maternal grandparents were William [Monaghan] Mackey and Matilda [Bellaghbeddy] Boyd. He had five brothers and five sisters, named Thomas, Francis, John, Alexander, Francis, Jane, Matilda, Margaret, Elizabeth and Frances.  He was the fifth oldest of the eleven children.  He died at the age of 77 in 1962 in Highland Hosp, South Ave, Rochester, NY.
