Note

In 1928, Patrick and Aiden St. Croix travelled together to "stay with their sister, Mrs. T. McGrath" in Boston. This confuses the question of parentage for Patrick, Aiden and Teresa (who married John J. McGrath). Teresa, in her marriage record, states her parents are John St. Croix and Elizabeth Stamp. Patrick in his baptismal record, it is stated that his parents are John St. Croix and Bridget Pippy. Aiden's baptismal record lists his parents as John St. Croix and Bridget (no last name). It does not appear from the dates of these baptismal records that John could have had two wives during that time.; Principal=Patrick St. Croix
