William and Mary (Keller) Gallagher

3902 Terrace Street Philadelphia, PA. 19127 (cira2005)
House is now divided into two apartments........


According to the 1910 census records, William and Mary (Keller) Gallagher lived with their two small children William (age 4) and Anna (age 2) in the rear of the house on 143 Seville Street just a few houses down from William's parents' house on 127 Seville Street. In the 1920 census records, they still resided at this location but now William's mother Hannah was listed as living there too. Hannah moved in with her son and his family after her husband Patrick died in 1913.

Sometime between 1920 and 1926, William and Mary (Keller) Gallagher, their children and mother moved to 3902 Terrace Street. A lot occurred at the residence on 3902. Hannah died in 1926. Anna married Coll McCaffery. Coll's cousin Anna Marie McCaffery was taken in under the protection of Mary Gallagher in 1928 and married her son William shortly thereafter. Then in 1929 the house at 3902 Terrace caught fire and the Gallagher family was forced to move in with the McCaffery's.
