Siberry McDermott marriage.
« on: Thursday 14 May 15 00:24 BST (UK) »
Hi - I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me find out who Mary Jane Siberry married. All I know of her is that she was born in 1879, and married a man from the McDermott family. I believe she also emigrated to Newhaven, Conneticut. And was still living in 1940s.


Thank you for anything you can tell me

Hi, I've been looking up my family tree and I've been looking into the Siberry side - more specifically Mary Jane Siberry born approx 1890 (I'll try find a more exact date), I think she moved to America while she was still young  - it was rumoured that she was pregnant out of wedlock (I'm not sure if this is true or not though) Mary Jane born c1879...

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to find a record for the marriage of a Mary Jane Siberry to a McDermott.
He was Roman Catholic , and she wasn't. She was ostracised from her family and moved to America around the 1900s.
I've been trying to find a record for her marriage but I've been unable to find anything, she was born in 1879 (I'm not sure where abouts in Ireland she was born but her family lived in Sligo, Co Roscommon and Liethrm for sometime.

     It was established on this thread that the marriage found in Ireland was for a John McDermott with bride Margaret & Mary Saberry to a John Sweeney.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me find info on Mary Jane Siberry, she was born 1879, and moved to America around 1900. She moved to Newhaven, Connecticut. I think I found a Ellis Island record showing her planed destination was Ansonia. That record also says she arrived on the 22 June 1895 aged 16, and under a different spelling but I'm not thinking she might have gone under McDermott.
     If she travelling to and arrived in America as Mary Jane Siberry then why on earth do you think she could have gone as McDermott. In the above thread the marriage to John McDermott was ruled out.

It is New Haven (two words not Newhaven- which is the name of a city as well as a county- was Ansonia not where details were found?

You need to look at all the evidence (not just jump about using family guesses) and perhaps purchase a few certificates to find the correct information. Extensive searching has already been done by quite a few of us. Please re-read the details we've posted and do not start another topic looking for the same information.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
