11. Once we get to great-greats, mine are foreign-born, but...
...if you've got any further info on the following family, I'd appreciate it.

Here's the scoop:

Great-grandma was born Bridget Agnes Duggan in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in April 1869. She went by her middle name, Agnes.

Her parents: Henry Duggan, born in 1828 in Ireland, emigrated to the U.S. in 1864; Anna Devitt, born in May 1838 (?) in Ireland.

Her siblings: Katherine, Marie, Sarah, Henry (Henry Bernard or Bernard Henry, possibly), and Nettie.

Agnes Duggan married Charles Francis Beckett on April 27, 1887, in Scranton, PA. I've only found her listed on two censuses, in 1880 and 1900, and it is believed she died young, though she was still alive in 1905. I think she had left Scranton for Philadelphia by that time.

Here's the thing: I don't know exactly when she died, only that it's between 1905 and 1936. Any clues, hints, gory details are much appreciated.
