Hi,
Unfortunately I don't know much about him. I can't seem to locate him after he leaves his mother's house. I know that Anna Gaffney, married John Dowdell. They had 4 children, Margaret, James, John and William. John Dowdell the elder, dies sometimes in the 1880's, and she apparently married Thomas Hoar time later. John Dowdell the younger was born @ 1883, so we're figuring John the elder died somewhere around then.

Anna and Thomas apparently had a son, James D. Hoar, he was born around 1885 in Philadelphia. in the 1900 census, Anna and both James were living in the same house. In this census,both James have the same middle initial of D but are approximately 5 years apart. James the elder was a RR conductor, and James the younger was still in school.

There is a Marriage certificate for a James Hoar and a Gertrude Barnett in 1903. I'm thinking it's James the elder using his stepfather's last name, I've based this thought on what later census have to say about his occupation.(electrician)

Anna Gaffney Dowdell Hoar dies April 24, 1914 in an old age home in Philadelphia, and is buried from her daughter Margaret's house, she's buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in Yeadon, Delaware County Pa with her son William who died @ christmas 1895, and eventually her daughter and son in law and her son James the elder.

I've been unable to locate James D. Hoar in the census after 1900. I've found possibilities in city directories but am not entirely sure they are him. It's like he just disappears.
