Mary C Moriarty
Based on information from the 1950 United States Federal Census
Mary C Mariarty, a 45-year-old married woman, resided in Cranston, Providence, Rhode Island, in 1950. She lived with her husband, Raymond J Mariarty, who was 50 years old. Their household consisted of five children: Barbara J Mariarty (21), Raymond J Mariarty Jr (19), Eleonore M Mariarty (16), Nancy G Mariarty (13), and Flora G Mariarty (age unknown). Mary's birthplace and her parents' birthplaces were all in Ireland.

Mary had completed at least two years of school and had attended school for 30 or more weeks. However, she did not work the previous week and was not seeking employment. Her occupation category was listed as "H," but her employment status was marked as "No."

The data does not provide any information about Mary's income or any supplemental income. It is unclear whether she had any source of income at the time.

Despite the lack of employment, Mary and her family had been living in the same house since at least 1949. Their address was 799 Oaklawn Ave, Cranston, Providence, Rhode Island. The dwelling number was 311, and they did not reside on a farm or own any acres of land.

The provided data offers a glimpse into Mary C Mariarty's life in 1950, highlighting her role as a wife and mother in a household of seven members. It also reveals her Irish heritage and her residence in Rhode Island.


Mary died at Cedar Crest Nursing Centre in Cranston, Rhode Island, at the age of 91. She is buried at Swan Point Cemetery in Providence.

Mary was a member of the Waters-Langton Post VFW and the Primmer-Cordeiro Post VFW and a past state department president of the VFW Auxiliary. She was also a member of the Immaculate Conception Church in Cranston, Rhode Island.
