After the war, William came back to Providence, where his mother and father died, in 1865 and |
1866, respectively. In the 1870 census, William is still single, working in a braid mill, and living |
in Providence, listed in the household of Robert Lynch, boot maker. [Note 2]. |
|
Sometime in his 50’s, and during the 1870’s, William married Hannah Nuttall [probably the widow |
of an (unknown male) Nuttall], with Hannah’s son John W. Nuttall becoming William’s step-son. |
The three of them are together on the 1880 census, in Pawtucket, Rhode island [Note 2}. |
|
Unfortunately, the 1900 census record has not been found (yet). However, William (and Hannah) |
can be found in the 1900-1910 Providence City Directories [Note 4] [1900-1908, at the addresses |
“15 Winsor” and “72 Jefferson”, and the 1909 City Directory announced his death: |
“McAninch, William, died Jan. 11, 1909” [Note 4; 1909 pg.409] |
|
Willam was also buried at North Burying Ground, Providence, where his parents Oliver and Jane |
were buried earlier, and where his wife Hannah (Nuttall) McAninch would be buried later. |
|
In 1910, Hannah is listed by her nickname ‘Anna’ in the Providence City Directory: |
"McAninch, Anna, widow of William, bds 72 Jefferson" [Note 4; 1910 pg. 416] |
|
After William’s death, Hannah lived with her son, John W. Nuttall, an unmarried machinist, and |
the two of them can be found on the 1910 census. The data in the 1910 census shows that Hannah |
had 3 children, but only her son John W. Nuttall is still living in 1910. [Note 2, 1910 census]. |
|
Hannah died 29 Mar. 1912, and was buried at North Burying Ground, Providence [Note 1]; |
her son John W. Nuttall died in 1927, and is also buried at North Burying Ground, Providence [1]. |
Arthur McAninch (b.ca.1825 in Ireland, d.aft.1872) |
|
Arthur McAninch was born 1824-1825 in Ireland (probably northern Ireland), and came to |
Rhode Island. His first wife Jane was born at the same time, 1824-1825, and also in Ireland [2]. |
|
Arthur’s parents are not known, although he could have been another son of Oliver and Jane |
McAninch. Arthur and his first wife Jane are in Providence in 1860 [Note 2], and had a son |
there, born and died on the same day, 21 April 1861 [Note 3]. Unfortunately, Arthur’s first wife |
Jane apparently also died during the 1860’s, although there is no record of the date nor location. |
|
Arthur married(2) Ann Giblin [Giblen?] on 30 Oct. 1868, Providence County, Rhode Island |
[Note 3]. Three years later, early in 1872, Arthur and Ann had a daughter, Mary E. McAninch, |
who was born in March or April, 1872, and who died 28 Jan. 1873, at age 9 months [Note 3]. |
Nothing more is known about Arthur and Ann (Giblin) McAninch. |
