Charles GALLAGHER - (New Jersey) Information
« on: Monday 10 July 17 01:03 BST (UK) »
Hello All,

I've been researching my Great-Great Uncle Charles Gallagher. He was born on the 25 June 1904 in Glasgow, Scotland to parents Eugene/Owen Gallagher and Teresa O'Connor. He emigrated to the United States in 1928. By 1940, from the census records, it is clear he is married to a woman named Mary Sullivan who was born c. 1908 in Connecticut. Her mother was Anna Sullivan who lived with them too at this census. It appears from Social Security records that Charles died in April 1968 in New Jersey. From Cemetery records, there is a "Charles P Gallagher" buried in New Jersey who died or was interred 04 April 1968.

I'm interested to confirm Charles' death date, and especially to know what children he and Mary may have had and when Mary herself passed away.

Any help much appreciated,

Tony

1930 census Harrison, Hudson County New Jersey
Charles Gallagher 25 born Scotland (1905) immigrated 1928 he works at a Radio Tube Factory driving a truck, he is boarding with Thomas Fallon and his wife Gertrude also born Scotland.

Did he have a sister Gertrude who married a Fallon.

The 1940 census I saw was Charles Gallagher and wife Mary in New York and he is an elevator operator born 1902 Scotland. No mother in law with them. I'll keep looking

Have you found him on a passenger list in 1928 or is this family heresay  ???

Where and what year did he marry Mary Sullivan  ??? 
Where is he in 1940  ???

Hello All,

RJ137 just posted the two censuses I was meaning - thanks. That's where my info on Mary is coming from really. As to his death in New Jersey there seems to have been more than one Charles Gallagher who died in that year and place. I don't have the source to hand, but I remember finding through Social Security a Charles Gallagher who died April 1968 with the DOB 25 June 1904 which is exactly the same DOB I've got for my Charles Gallagher.

The Cemetery got back to me and says there is no trace of a Mary Sullivan/Gallagher buried there which makes me doubt he is buried there too.

Cheers,

Tony

The Sullivan family.

It appears they were in Belleville from 1920 on, so I assume this is where Mary & Charles Gallagher married, since that is where eveyone appears in the 1940 census. Also Mary's father Patrick died between 1920 -1930 probably in  Belleville since that is where the family was living in 1920/1930.

1920 census: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M45D-1ZC

1930 census: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X4D4-X44

1940 census: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K452-X93

Belleville city directories:

1940 & 1942
Gallagher, Charles (Mary H) utilityman, resides 130 Stephens
Gallagher, Mrs. Mary H., stenographer, resides 130 Stephens

1944
Gallagher, Charles (Mary H) mechanic, home 134 Washington Av.
Gallagher, Mrs. Mary H., stenographer, resides 130 Stephens

1946
Gallagher, Charles (Mary) millwright Bloomfield, home 57 Cortlandt
Gallagher, Mrs. Mary H., stenographer, resides 130 Stephens

The 1950 directory still has the entry for Mrs. Mary H. Gallagher, but nothing for Charles.  It's possible that they just forgot to remove the entry for Mary, or they may have been separated.
