looks like this is part of the family I am looking for. I know he was born along with his brothers in Mullaghmore, Tannyoky, Co Armagh. No one seems to know where they went to in America but my Gran said that she never met them and she was born in 1923. Thanks for your help. Hopefully I will find the rest of them.

David John Douglas is listed on a California Voter Registration.  He was living in Telmat.

According to the following site, Hamlet/Telmat and Marshall "were the leading rail shipping stations on the bay."

[I'd never heard of Telmat.  Undecided  Believe I might have heard of Hamlet.]

Thanks for all this info. I tried to get onto footnote.com last night. Is the 1930 federal census the one were you got all this information cause when I looked it up I couldn't find any of their details. Maybe I am doing something wrong.
Thanks again
