Gibbons in Chicago from County Mayo Ireland
« on: Wednesday 02 January 13 19:46 GMT (UK) »
Hi there. I would be grateful if anyone had any information on my grandfathers sisters Mary Gibbons born about 1885 and Annie Gibbons born about 1901 in Ballyart, Turlough, Castlebar, County Mayo, Ireland.

I found Annie on ellisisland.org arriving in New York on September 24 1922 on the Baltic from Liverpool. The ship manifest says she was going to her sister Mrs M Fahey in Chicago so this must be elder sister Mary.

Thank You

This looks like the family in 1901:

and in 1911:

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Mayo/Bellavary/Ballyart/711228/

There was another family of Gibbons living next door in both censuses, headed by Michael, so likely related.
