I 'think' the baptism note says that he married Helena E Murphy at St Peters, Newark, Belleville, New Jersey USA on 14th July 1909.

I've not seen info like that on a baptism before!

I wonder if Julia didn't go the US?

The name Helen E Murphy was on that baptism Gins so good confirmation from that census.

Brilliant!

I can't see the Nielan family on any census in the UK :-S

A tree on Ancestry has Thomas as 'died at sea'

However the tree owner does not have any supporting evidence

I'm back!

I'm beginning to think that Julia never went the US and may have reverted to her maiden name?

Hi everyone: I can't believe all the information I've received. thanks to everyone who responded. Yes this is William and he married Helen Murphy. in the US. I have noticed in several Catholic Baptisms that when the person marries and contacts the original church for a baptismal certificate (needed to prove religion) often the priest will note where and when the person is married, This is especially common in rural Irish churches where the person married in North America. I have discovered a death record in Liverpool in 1893, two years after the marriage for a Thomas born in 1865 age 28. Just have to find what happened to Julia in 1901 census. cheers Rona
