The family living at 1328 W. Randolph Street, Chicago, Illinois on the 1910 Census (which, in this case, was enumerated on April 21, 1910) is the following:

Gleason, Michael, born 1872 Ohio, both parents born Ireland, yardman at buildings
Gleason, Cathreng (? maybe Catherine?), born 1878 Ireland, both parents born Ireland
Geason, Anna, born 1904 Illinois
Gleason, Margaret, born 1907 Illinois
Gleason, Cathreng (? again Catherine?), born 1909 Illinois

I wonder if John Sheridan was living with this family after the census was taken.  Is it possible there is an Ireland connection through Catherine Gleason? or maybe through Michael Gleason whose was born in Ohio but whose parents were from Ireland.

I think my next step is looking at all John Sheridan at Ellis Island 1910 & before going to Chicago the one i was looking at was with Michael Dever & Michael Gibbons all going to Chicago from Ballinrobe.

He was going to John Mcging  at west ? St Chicago i cant read it street name.

Incoming September 24, 1905 from Queenstown

John Sheridan, age 24, born abt 1881?, traveling to sister: Mrs. Patrick Kelly 1030 W. 15th Street Chicago, Illinois
Last residence: Aclare

There are 2 John Sheridan's in Chicago in 1910 that fit this immigration.  The most likely is the first I think.

1910 Chicago Ward 13, Cook, Illinois

John Sheridan age 30 born abt 1880 Ireland Immigration year 1906 boarding with the following people at 3154 Congress Street, Chicago, Illinois

Nora Fleming age 35
Alice Fleming age 30
Frank Kelly age 30 (could this be an in-law)
James Dorthan age 35
Joe Shark age 40

or

1910 Chicago Illinois

John Sheridan age 23 born abt 1887 Ireland, boarder, immig year 1901 (I look at the census document and it looks more like 1906 to me)

Austin Sheridan age 26 born abt 1884 Ireland, boarder, immig year 1908

living with their sister's family at 5530 Bishop Street Chicago, Illinois (9 miles from Randolph street)

Patrick Kelly age 35
Kate Kelly age 28
and their children

In response to your immigration record where John Sheridan is going to John McGing:

1910 Chicago Illinois Ward 13

2815 Howard Street, Chicago, Illinois...this must be an apartment building as there is more than one family listed at the same address

John McGing age 38 born  Ireland, immig year 1888, Engineer at Electric Company
Bridget McGing age 35 married 9 years, immig year 1895

living with brother in law:

Timothy Callahan, age 40 born Ireland
Dorothy Callahan, age 42 born Ireland married 11 years

If someone with ancestry access could look for John Sheridan World War I Draft Registration Cards if Patrick was drafted there's a good chance that John was their could be a next of kin detail.
I guess john was in Chicago or maybe Ohio.

Thanks

The closest I could come to on identifying your John Sheridan is the one who came over to live with his sister Mrs. Patrick Kelly:

John Sheridan, age 35, born May 12, 1883 Ireland, building laborer. nearest relative Kate Kelly (sister)
Address: 5534 Bishop St. Chicago, Illinois

Hi I’m no further along but I do have some new info I went to see Patrick’s daughter Bridget today She thinks that Patrick might of gone to the America with some cousin also that Patrick had two sister she thinks they might have been called Mary & Bridget she wasn’t sure she’s in her 90’s and her memory not so good his sister’s also when to America.
She was so pleased that she might finally found out what become of her Dad.
Her mother was pregnant with her when Patrick when to America his wife & children were all to go to America but because his wife Mary was pregnant with Bridget they could not  go so he went alone & so Bridge never meet her father.
Her sister Mary has more info but she’s not very well and over 100 so I don’t want to bother her.
Bridget let me copy a photo of Patrick which I will add if I can!
I would just like to thank everyone that’s helping on my behalf & his daughter thank you very much.

In searching through newspaperarchives.com I found this article in a Ohio newspaper about a Private Patrick Sheridan who was killed in a town in Germany that was being occupied by American troups:

In the Marion Daily Star Newspaper, Marion, Ohio - June 12, 1919

How One Was Killed.  On the American side it is claimed that a fight in which Private Patrick Sheridan, a native of Ireland, who enlisted in Chicago, was shot and killed was brought about by a party of Germans who had been celebrating the Whitsuntide holidays and who attacked some Americans in the streets of Ehrenbreitstein.

Witnesses agreed that Sheridan took no part in the fight but was an innocent bystander, struck by a German bullet.  The German who fired the fatal shot is being held for trial by a military commission.
