  2. ↑ as Mrs. Hugh Cassidy - Stamford Directory NOTE: Since Sarah Louise and the younger siblings certainly were born in Ireland, according to family history, censuses and immigration records, the obituary's statement that she was a resident of Stamford for 55 years has to be wrong -- but it is conceivable that it was a typo and should have read 45 years.
