      The announcement is made of the marriage of Francis A. Broderick of Watervliet to Anna E. DeLee of this city, which took place February 5. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. J. F. Lowery of St. Mary's Church. The attending parties were Miss Mary E. Hill and Francis J. McCormick of Watervliet. Mr. and Mrs. Broderick have taken up their residence on Ninth Avenue, Watervliet.

      Here's what I found in St. Mary's Church Records:
      Marriage Records:
      Anna E. Delee married Francis A. Broderick on February 5, 1904. Witnesses were Francis J. McCormack and Mary E. Hill. No parents' names were given.
      Baptismal Records:
      Anna Delee, daughter of John and Anne Delee, was born on November 8, 1880 and baptised on November 12, 1880. Witnesses were William Delee and Ellen Scanlon.
      Josephine Delee, daughter of John and Anna Delee, was baptised on April 30, 1879 (8 days old). Witnesses were William Scanlon and Mary Delee.
      Margaret Delee, daughter of John and Anna Delee, was born July 1, 1882 and baptised July 2, 1882. Witnesses were James Donahey and Mary Stanton.
      Maria Delee, daughter of John and Anna Delee, was born November 9, 1883 and baptised November 10, 1883. Witnesses were Jaems Delee and Johanna Barrey.
      Mary Delee, daughter of John and Anna Delee, was born November 25, 1884 and baptised November 30, 1884. Witnesses were James Casey and Mary Casey.
      Hope this is helpful - since I live in Washington state (but grew up in Troy), I purchased the set of St. Mary's records when they came out (I think Rose at St. Mary's was happy, since she wouldn't have to answer my queries any more). I'd be happy to check any other names for you.
