John francis Stapleton

[Sinann]

The passenger list shows his father as John of Cooleen. Going off the ages in census, could he be Tobias?

The 1897 birth would be too young.

Possible, he's not with the family in 1911, but what would the F of William F be on the ship record
Wouldn't you expect William T

There is a 24 yr old James Stapleton with an address of  Clonmel going to his uncle William Stapleton, NY in 1907.

Found William b. 1885 with the same parents as Clement John & Margaret.Did this William die? Possibly as there is a death in 1887 of a 2 yr old William - so a total red herring!!

There is a published tree for James Stapleton who emigrated 1907.
The parents are John S and Margaret Sadleir which seems to fit.
However, the tree owner has a link to an entirely different family in 1901

Yes, this William is to parents John Stapleton and Margaret Sadlier who married in 1878 (reg. Cappagh), in light of Heywood's find, I've decided to wait until the OP provides more information (to avoid nugatory effort).

[heywood]

 Yes that's probably best. The OP might have all this info and want to know what happened to John Francis

Thank you all for your help,i just cant seem to find much about the family.My Grandfather William did go to America in 1910 to his brother James met/married a lady possible Rose/Rossie had John Francis Stapleton about 1914 and brought him back to Ireland 1919.Our Grandfather was very deep and did not tell the family anything,the only thing he did tell was that he had been to America,he came over to Scotland about 1925 as he married my Gran Janet Spence1926 and gave different parents on his marriage cert,i have him born about 1885 Nenah.

[heywood]

Who were his parents on marriage? Were they just invented?
Did he take John Francis to Scotland?
Sorry, it's all questions.
However, just thought it must be right family because of place name.

on his marriage cert it had his parents as Hugh Stapleton and Mary Dolan,and no he did not bring John with him to Scotland,the only reason I know of this son is the good people on rootschat who found him,i have tried finding Johns birth in new York to see if William had married but no I never found anything,i would love to know if John went on to Marry and had children of his own.
