Title: RC Priest Patrick Joseph Magill
Post by: aniph on Saturday 31 October 09 22:33 GMT (UK)
Could some kind person look up his death notice please.

Born 1894 Antrim, Ireland

Arrived at Ellis Island 31 Aug 1924

Address: St Augustine, Florida

I know he was in Florida for many years so maybe died there?

Many thanks
Annie

It looks like he initially came to the US in Nov. 1921 via the SS Baltic.  If you need that information, let us know.

Also, he was on the SS Cuba from Havana, Cuba to Key West, Florida 9 Mar. 1926
Magill, Patrick Jos., age 32, single, priest, nationality - Ireland, tourist - 4 yrs. in US, 4 days in Cuba, final destination - St. Augustine, Fla., passage paid by self, previously in US from 1921-26, 5'5" tall, dark black hair, brown eyes, born Culbane, Ireland.  I can't quite read who he was going to join in the US - it looks something like H. Carheel?
