Sarah was married to Edward George Madden. He was born in 1847. They lived on Wall St. In Belfast. He died cutting an orange arch off his chimney. He fell off his roof and fractured his skull. That was 12 July 1885. Sarah was left a widow with 7 children. It's estimated that 3000 people followed the funeral cort?ge to Milltown Cemetery. My Grandfather was 3 at the time. He and his siblings were in a R.C. Orphanage. My Grandfather came to America in 1904. I don't believe all the siblings came over. Edward was a year older and Robert (I think) was a year younger.

I don't know what happened to Sarah to make the kids orphans. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it very much.
Also who were her parents and also who were his parents?
