Richard Norman Creeden and Lorraine J. Costa
Richard Norman Creeden
- Born
- 28 APR 1946[1] at Manchester, Hillsborough, N.H.
- Died
- 04 JAN 2018[3] at Manchester, Hillsborough, N.H.
- Buried
- [4] at N.H. State Veterans Cemetery, Boscawen, Merrimack, N.H.
- Married
- 15 JAN 1972[5]
- Father
- Norman Henry Creeden
- Mother
- Ruth Helen Lamy
His birth year was first estimated from an age of 4 in the 1950 census index, which lists him under the surname Creeden as a son of the head of household, Arthur J. Lievens, in the household of Ruth Lievens, and the index of his mother’s 2010 obituary names Arthur Joseph Lievens as his father. His own obituary, transcribed on a Find a Grave memorial, gives his full name as Richard Norman Creeden, born at Manchester on 28 April 1946, the son of Norman Creeden and Ruth (Lamy) Lievens; a compiled public-records index gives the same name and birth date, with the alias Richard P Creeden, and residences at Manchester from 1993 to 2007, where the obituary places him at Goffstown. He is placed in the Creeden family because he bore the surname Creeden and was born during his mother’s marriage to Norman Creeden, and his own obituary names Norman Creeden as his father; his mother later married Arthur J. Lievens, in whose household he appears in 1950. Needs independent verification: his birth, death and burial, which rest on a memorial transcribing an obituary and on a compiled index.[7]

Lorraine J. Costa
- Born
- 23 JUN 1948[14] at Cambridge, Middlesex, Mass.
- Died
- 15 DEC 2011[15] at Manchester, Hillsborough, N.H.
- Father
- John Costa
- Mother
- Lena DiCeglie
An obituary printed in the Union Leader on 18 December 2011 and transcribed on her Find a Grave memorial says she died on 15 December 2011, born at Cambridge, Massachusetts, on 23 June 1948, the daughter of John and Lena (DiCeglie) Costa. An obituary index entry gives her death date as 23 December 2011, five days after that obituary appeared, so 15 December is entered and the index date may be a keying error; it gives her birth date as 23 June 1948 and the word Cambridge where a death place would be, and spells her mother’s name Diceglie. Needs independent verification: her birth and death records.[16]
Children
The records name her only by her married name, Christine Burroughs, wife of Michael Burroughs and mother of Brandon Burroughs; she is entered under the birth surname Creeden of her father, Richard Creeden. Needs independent verification: her birth record or her own obituary.[18]
The records name her only by her married name, Julie Fisher; she is entered under the birth surname Creeden of her father, Richard Creeden. Needs independent verification: her birth record or her own obituary.[20]
