Hi .. my grandmothers brother and sister emigrated to the USA I estimate sometime between 1911 and approx 1920 . Names are John Ward and Elizabeth ( Lily) Ward marriage name Kelly I`m unsure if she married there or in ireland.. an old postcard i have gives an address for Elizabeth at 1763 Swain St . Philadelphia . I have another address but i cant make it out .. They were originally from Artane in Dublin Their parents my great grandparents were Thomas and Catherine Ward ( Ryan ) and rest of family named Josephine, Sarah, Jane, Hannah, Thomas, Bridget, Rosanna, ( my grandmother )
John was born in 1893 and Elizabeth in 1895 .. One of them had a son Jack born in 1918 and a grandaughter dont know her name but i`v a photo of her taken in Sequoia National park on June 12th 1945 age 9 months so good chance she still with us.. Thats about as much information as i have an i hope to make a later post with some photos etc ..
many thanks from Dublin Ireland ... Anthony ..

Are you sure on the dates? (them born in the 1860s, son born in 1918...  ) You say post-1911 - do you have them on the 1911 Irish census, then?
