21 Feb 1874 in New Haven, New Haven, CT, buried St. Bernard’s in New Haven, New Haven, CT, resided Lafayette St. in New Haven, New Haven, CT, occupation Laborer.

I think that this could be the nephew of Mary Stanford Carroll. At his death, Peter named Mary’s husband, Bartholomew Carroll, and Thomas Stanford, possibly another brother, as his executors of his will. In 1860, a Thomas and Peter lived with a Patrick Stanford, a third brother, Thomas, at 45 Morrocco St.                                                                                                                                                                                                            Peter died of Pertusis, attending physician was Dr. J.J.S. Doherty. (NH Vitals) Vitals list father as “James”.

He married Mary Doherty, b. c.1840 in Ireland, resided Lafayette St. in New Haven, New Haven, CT, d. post 1880.

None of their seven daughters lived past age 6. All but one died under age 1. (Hale Headstones) A Dr. J.J. S. Doherty is listed as a relative in Anne Carroll’s obit. In 1860 City Directories, there is a Charles Doherty boarding with this family at 45 Morroco St. Is probably Mary’s brother.
