Searching for Della Rossiter

[Merry-go-Round]

I'm trying to find any information on Della Rossiter and her parents Patrick Rossiter and Ellen Hennessy.
Della was born circa 1868 in Wexford, Ireland.  she married Daniel J. Fraher 1905 in Manhattan. On the 1910 census Della states she emigrated in 1888.
I cannot find anything for Della or her parents prior to her marriage. I would appreciate any help in trying to trace them.

Do you have anything on Daniel or Della after 1910?

Hi Shellyesq,

No, I don't but it's really any info prior to her marriage I'm looking for, whether she emigrated alone or with her parents.
I can't find Patrick or Ellen on the Irish records or in the USA.

Thank you for replying

Sometimes going forward will help you go backwards, such as if an obituary lists the names of siblings or location of surviving parents.  That why I asked.

Sorry Shellyesq, I didn't explain myself very well. The 1910 census was the only record I could find for Della.

I also found  Della's marriage record  14th May 1905 Manhattan.

On the death index on www.italiangen.org, there are Manhattan deaths for a Daniel J. Fraher on 8 Nov. 1910 who was age 48 and a Delia Fraher who died 17 Oct. 1926 at age 55.  The ages might not be perfect, but they looked close, so I thought they might be possibilites.

Thanks Shelleyesq,  that certainly seems to be them.
I couldn't find Delia on the Ellis Island records is here anywhere else I could check

thanks Mairead

Ellis Island wasn't open as of 1888.  Some passenger lists to New York prior to that are at www.castlegarden.org.
