Talk:Richard Croker

message: 1841 vs. 1843. Biruitorul 03:15, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Several of these just happen to mention both Croker and a year. This would really take some sorting through. But clearly many supposedly reliable sources on each side. - Jmabel | Talk 06:21, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Exactly. I suppose we'd need something like a death (or birth) certificate or census data for either date to be authoritative beyond a reasonable doubt. Biruitorul 02:04, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I searched the 1880 US census here and 1843 seems to be the date, assuming the Richard Croker I found there is the same one. Biruitorul 02:16, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Birth year

message: Mrs. Beulah Benton Edmondson Croker, widow of powerful
Tammany Hall Boss, Richard Croker, who died Saturday
March 16, 1957 in West Palm Beach, Florida, was a former
Muskogee, Oklahoma resident and teacher.
A niece of the late Congressman W.W. Hastings of Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Mrs Croker was the only Indian who ever owned a castle
in Ireland. She received it through the will of her husband. Mr. and
Mrs. Bruce Garrett and their daughter, Kathleen, lived in the Irish castle until the children by Croker's first marriage took it away
from Mrs. Croker in a legal battle. Mrs. Garrett was Mrs. Croker's sister.
Congressman Hastings went to Europe to fight the case in the
courts, and as far as can be ascertained Hastings was the only
American Indian who ever defended a law suit in Europe.

message: Edward F. Croker was a famous fire chief (not Commissioner) in New York City and author on fire prevention and fire fighting who later founded (?) a fire equipment company, Croker Fire Protection, now Fire-End and Croker Corporation. I wonder whether he might have owed a portion of his career and business success to some blood relationship to Richard, who had been Fire Commissioner. DCDuring (talk) 13:30, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Did Tweed convert to Catholicism? There is nothing in the article, yet his funeral details: "After a Requiem Mass in the private oratory, the burial service was conducted by the Right Rev. Dr. W.J. Miller [Roman Catholic Titular Bishop of Eumenia]" would indicate he did. Anyone know anything about this? Quis separabit? 00:31, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Never mind, this source, states he converted shortly before his death. Live and learn. Quis separabit? 00:33, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
