Hi.I am trying to find information on 4 of my grandfathers sisters all of whom emigrated to New York at various stages in the 1920's. They were all born in Co Tyrone and are all on the 1911 Irish Census, and the 1901 Irish Census (the ones that were born by then).I already have the details for these censuses. I also have the details of the emigrations ie dates and boat names that they sailed on, but am unable to find anything after they emigrated. Any info I can get re possible marriages, death details, family etc would be appreciated. |

On Margaret's arrival she was joining sister Cassie (Catherine?) who was also in White Plains. |

James, can I suggest you edit the title of this thread to include New York, that way one of the NY "experts" will be more likely to spot it. |

According to the "Algeria" passenger list Catherine (domestic) was going to her Sister Annie..62 Fisher Ave. White Plains...it appears the girls may all have located to the same area. |

When Anna (she was listed as Annie) arrived in New York in 1920 she was going to join her aunt, Annie Mahon, 400 3rd Ave., Long Island, NY. and was planning to stay 5 years. |

On a posting earlier , Marie Celeste mentions marriages for Anna (Annie) Maria and Catherine Bridget, and later postings give the marriage details and family of Catherine & Hugh Mathers. I previously saw a possible marriage for Anna to a Martin Shea in May 1935. Looked then for anything on a Anna Shea and there is one who died 5 July 1936 so was wondering if this was the same one. |

Just saw Anna marriage was in 1922 in the earlier post...not 1935 so please disregard the last post....unless she remarried in 1935 |
