Gertrude Cummins and/or Baxter, born Daly

[splask]

Hi,

my great aunt Gertrude [b. Daly] immigrated to New York around the 1930's, she had been married to a Patrick Cummins and was then known as Baxter when in the States.  She died in 1994 in Elmhurst, Queens.  I'm trying to find information on when exactly she immigrated, who her husband Cummins was, who her husband Baxter was, if she had any children and where she is buried.

Gertrude was from a large family from Rathowen, Westmeath and last lived in North Dublin in Ireland.  Two of here sisters, Josephine and Bridget Daly also immigrated to the USA and I believe that Josephine and Gertrude shared a home in Elmhurst, Queens.

Might just be coincidence but Ireland Birth Registrations for these children lists the mother as Daly

Hi Rosie - all of your information seems spot on, a big thanks.  The birth date is correct for Gertrude and they are indeed her sons names. Which service did you use to find this info?

You won't get the Cummings marriage on that site, only does marriages over 75 year and births over 100 years.
Assuming they stayed in Dublin there is this death of a John Baxter 1941 aged 43
