Hi Kieran,

If it was New York City there are a few records on the link below but I don't think it is going to cover the whole of the time frame you want unfortunately.


http://www.italiangen.org/VRECLIST.stm

Have you tried this one:-

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start

I can see a New York Passenger List for SS Celtic -  27 May 1921 for A Bridget Diamond going to 346 East 65 St. New York NY. The date of birth given on the passenger list is:- 22 March 1901. Could any of that information tie it up to your Bridget ?

There is a California Death Record for Agnes Diamond born 30 July 1899 New York who died in San Francisco. California 28 Jan 1972.

Regards ;D

Hi Dettori28,

A Bridget Diamond going to 346 East 65 St. New York NY. The date of birth given on the passenger list is:- 22 March 1901.

Do you know who lived at 346 East 65 St NewYork?

I have no idea who was living there I'm afraid.  Think we need one of the moderators to move this thread to the United States Board
Another New York Passenger List shows Susan Helen Diamond born New York City. New York.  3/9/1899 going to a sister 1476 North Milton Street. Philadelphia. on the SS Baltic 19 Dec 1919

Is this the family they all belong to ?

Hi Dettori28,

Thanks again for the information and yes both records belong to my Diamond Family of whom I have recently got in contact with.

I am in contact with John F Diamond and Bridget Christine Cahalane daughter so she will be able to tell me more whenever she gets around to sending me information that she has.

Thanks again for all your help

You are truly wonderful

Kieran

PS Can you see if you can find out anything on Andrew McKernan and Bridget McKernan nee Heron who got married in June 1837 and had a daughter Margaret born in February 1848 from Drumderg Draperstown, Derry Northern Ireland.  From some records I found they were maybe in Newark, Essex, New Jersey.

Hi Dettori28,

Thanks for the information.  Yes I have got this but I am not sure if this is the right family as there is no Margaret mentioned.  I would need to find something that says where in Ireland they were from as Andrew and Bridget were both from Draperstown.

Also they got married in 1837 so going by Andrew is 56 in 1880 he was born in 1824 so he was 13 when he got married?

Thanks for all your help I am really very grateful for it all.

Kieran

PS can you send me links to the last two pieces of the Diamonds information

Hello Kieran,

Try the Ireland board to get the marriage info that you need - I think there is more than one Maghera, so not sure which County you need to put it under.
No that does'nt look like the correct Andrew but I did'nt see any other.  :(
Title: Re: Some New York Web Sites
Post by: kieran257 on Friday 11 June 10 23:18 BST (UK)
Hi Dettori28,

Thanks again for all your help.  Yes this dosen't look like Andrew but it could be and his age could be taken down incorrectly or he was trying to make himself younger or maybe he was in another part of America. 
Maghera where the Diamonds were living is in Co Derry.

Here they are in the 1911 census

Hi Kieran

Saw a post you did on a Belfast Forum in April and you refer to a marriage between John P Hanna and Agnes Diamond.

http://www.belfastforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=29659.0

Does that mean that there is Bridget Agnes and Agnes are one and the same ?

Is this Agnes in New York ?

1930 Census Bronx, New York

John Hanna 31 Born England. Father England. Mother N.Ireland.Married at 27 years. Operator. Ind.  ... Railway. Immigrated 1922
Agnes Hanna 27 Born New York of Irish Parents. Married at 25 years.
Plus 2 children. 1 Male John F Hanna 4 th Oct 1927 - 12 April 1993 SSDI Record
1 Female:- Mary E Hanna 19 Oct 1926 - 2004

Your post says "I am looking for the marriage of John P Hanna from Castlewellan Co Down to Agnes Diamond probably around 1901 or so"


Interestingly there is a New York Passenger List for John Hanna which ties in nicely with the immigration date on the above Census.
Name: John Hanna
Arrival Date: 4 Dec 1922 Birth Year: abt 1900 Birth Location: England
Birth Location Other: Battersea .London
Age: 22 Gender: Male. Single at this date. Occupation:- Farm Labourer.
Nationality: Irish
Port of Departure: Londonderry
Port of Arrival: New York, New York
Ship Name: Columbia

Father listed as Hugh Hanna. Drumariad. Castlewellan. Co Down. He was going to Uncle John Hanna. 1836 Arthur Avenue. Bronx. New York.

So the marriage quite possibly is in New York about 1925/26 unless I can find another passenger list that puts John Hanna back in Ireland.

What do you reckon to a New York Marriage  ?

Name: John F. Hanna
 
Last Residence: 10471  Bronx, Bronx, New York.
Born: 4 Oct 1927
Died: 12 Apr 1993

Hi Dettori28,

Thanks again for all your help and you have hit the jackpot.  Again this information is for the correct families and anything you can send me to back things up will be great.  Any chance of getting any of the kids details so that I could get my auntie to write to them as she kept in contact with Agnes, John P and John F.

Yes Bridget Agnes and Agnes are the one.  We only knew her as Agnes but I have found a record that calls her Bridget Agnes which I think was her baptism.  Yes the marriage probably took place in New York I was trying Ireland as they both had come from Ireland but I never found any marriage for them.

I have got the marriage of Hugh Hanna who came from Castlewellan but married Mary Caines from Battersea and all the four children were born in Battersea.

Any chance of finding any details for his uncle John Hanna.

Thanks so much for all your help my aunties will be thrilled.

Kieran

Hi Dettori28,

Agnes sister was called Catherine Diamond and I think she was married to Duryea and died on the 15 June 1968 in America.

Also there was a Herbert T Moyes who died on the 2 March 1987

Do you know where the Barlow's are buried at?

Thanks as always

I see one in Bronx New York in 1920 E 172 nd Street and 1930 Fenton Avenue born about 1870. Immigrated 1888 but that isn't the address John Hanna was going to in 1922.

Hi Dettori28,

Thanks for all the information.  Unfortunately, I don't know when Hugh's brother John was born.

I have been speaking to my aunties and they say that Susan Helen Diamond married Harry Bradley from Maghera around 1950 -
1970 as when she came home in 1970 she was 20 years married.

Thanks for all your help

Catheine I find rather a mystery because you originally were looking for a birth 1895.

On the 1900 Census, Catherine was listed as born 1888 Ireland and was 13 years old  ???
Catherine isn't with the family on your 1911 Ireland Census Record.
I can see a SSDI Record for a Catherine Duryea born 11 Aug 1897 Died July 1980 Brooklyn. Kings. New York.

and another SSDI for Catherine Duryea born 6th May 1900 Died January 1967

The first one was married to Frank F Duryea and their is a US Veterans Gravesite information for that one below

Name: Catherine Duryea
Service Info.: SGT US ARMY  Birth Date: 11 Aug 1897
Death Date: 20 Jul 1980
Relation: Wife of Duryea, Frank F
Interment Date: 23 Jul 1980
Cemetery: Long Island National Cemetery
Cemetery Address: 2040 Wellwood Avenue Farmingdale, NY 11735-1211
Buried At: Section 2d Site 2371

If Catherine was born 1895-8 then I would have to assume she went back to Ireland with the family in 1907 so would hope to find a passenger record of her returning married or unmarried. Have'nt found an unmarried one yet.

On the 1900 Census we had a Patrick G Diamond 11 Born New York, have you any further info on him.
He may not have travelled back to Ireland with the family in 1907
but I have'nt found anything definite for him yet ?

Hi Dettori28,

Thanks for your reply.  Yes Patrick Geard Diamond was born in 20 Aug 1888 in Ireland and that was him you had in the ships log yesterday 'the Father and son (the two Patricks) are on the New York Passenger List'  Patrick Geard was the son.

In my last email I thought I might have his death on the 24 October 1969 but I am not sure if this is correct.

Yes haven't spoken to my aunties Susan Helen either went to Catherine/Kathyrn or Annie who was born in Scotland on the 17th November 1884 and who they think married Mullholland?

This is the Patrick you are trying to tie in to but there are so many options, he may not be the right one.  I was hoping to find a Patrick with "G" (Geard)  in the name but so far cannot see anything. Is it Geard or a version of Gerard ?

Name: Patrick Diamond
Born: 1 May 1902
Died: Oct 1969

Certainly got around did'nt they, Ireland, Scotland USA and back to Ireland before some returning to the USA.

Hi Kieran,

The Delaware Death records only go as far as 1955. I could only suggest you try the public library, see if they can do a look up for you or if they can point you in a direction.  I can't see anyone appropriate for RAOGK who could do that.

There is a criteria for people who request a death certificate, it isn't quite as easy as it seems, the link below will explain.

I think I may have found John as his brother Hugh was born in approximately 1863 and his father was Patrick.

John was born in approximately in 1873.

Hi Dettori28,

Thanks for all your help.  Could you send me copies of anything you find.  This all looks good.  I think the same here after 1950 although you can get copies of certificates as long as you know a rough date.  For Northern Ireland you just go online put in the details and then of course your credit card and then you get the certificate.

Would it be possible to get any details on any of the children that were listed for Andrew McKernan as it might list the mothers maiden name or where she was from.

Hi Dettori28,

Thanks for your help.  Yet again when I try and get my fathers family they are wrong.  It should of been Andrew McKernan and Bridget Heron married in June 1837.

Thanks for looking

Kieran

Maybe they would be in a ships log.  I think they left Ireland after Feb 1848.  I have found them married as Andrew Keirnan and Biddy Haran.

Hi Dettori28,

Thanks for all your help.

Can you find a George Murray who was born in 28 Jan 1877 from Moneyneena Draperstown parents Michael Murray and Ellen Murray nee Murray. 

I know he went to America but again I don't know where. 

Thanks for all your help

That really isn't enough information to work with Keiran. I have had a look but nothing jumps out at me.

Coincidence but there is an IGI Record for George Murray a son of Hugh Murray and Susan Murray Diamond born exactly the same day - 24 Jan 1877. Ironical when your other line includes the Diamond family  ;)

Hi Dettori28,

Thanks for all your help.  Hughs parents were Patrick Hanna and Bridget Doran from
Parish/ District of DRUMAROAD
I now have found Elizabeth (12 Jan 1870),
Charles Patrick (12 Sep 1864),
John (24 Jun 1866) and Hugh (06/01/1861)

I hope this helps confirm the details for John Hanna.

Thanks for all your help as always

Hi Dettori28,

Thanks for your reply.  I got some of the records from LDS and the other was a look up that gave me the full parents. I am going home shortly to Ireland so the responses might not be as quick as I won't always have the internet.

However, do worry I will get back in touch. 

I can't thank you enough for all your help.  Hopefully, I will be able to get to the bottom of my fathers family soon

Thanks

Kieran :)

Going back to Susan Helen Diamond who married Harry Bradley.

These are the SSDI Records for those 2. No luck with obituaries to fill in the blanks

Hi Kieran,

I've been looking at John Hanna again and although his age would be out on that 1910 census, 1920 make him 1869/70 which isn't to far out.  I think the census records I gave seems the best match for him. He even calls his son John P Hanna - born 1909 New Jersey.  Might see if I can anything on him  ;)

The McKernan family are a mystery and I still see no census with them on it.  Could be mistranscribed but I've even tried variations of that and got "zilch"
Title: Re: DIAMOND
Post by: *Sandra* on Thursday 17 June 10 17:33 BST (UK)
On the 1910 census John P Hanna was 2 months old.  The census was taken 18th April 1910.  So this SSDI Record seems to fit:-  ???

Name: John P. Hanna
Born: 20 Feb 1910
Died: 14 Nov 1989
Last Residence: 10470  Bronx, Bronx, New York, United States of America

Hi Dettori28,

Thanks for your reply. The wedding record for Andrew and Bridget lists them as Andrew Kernan/Keirnan and Biddy Haran.

So you can see that the names have changed over the years.
Maybe there daughter Margaret born on the 03/02/1848 would be easier to find.


Thanks for all your help

Kieran
Title: Re: DIAMOND
Post by: *Sandra* on Thursday 17 June 10 18:52 BST (UK)
Yes, I see that which is why I checked for Andrew, Bridget and Margaret Kernan and McKernan and lots of other variations.  I can find a Bridget Kernan born 1810 Ireland in New York in 1850 but no Andrew or Margaret. That family of Kernan were also in the USA before 1837 and Margaret was'nt born until 1848.  So that particular Bridget could very well be the one on death record that you found.  ???  I can also see a Margaret Kernan (Domestic)  born 1848 but no further info on her.  I have spent many hours going through all that I can but have drawn a blank  ???

Hi Dettori28,

Thanks for all your help and all the information.  It seems to be always the same when I try and get information on the McKernans that went to America.  It must be the way the name has been recorded. 

The wedding details are on this link but I don't think it will give you any more clues

Hi Dettori28,

Sorry the link didn't work but I see you have been given the right weblink.

If you search for Biddy Haran from Londonderry there will be only one marriage listed and this is for Andrew and Bridget.

Thanks for all your help

Thank you, found it, did'nt help but nice to see it.

Surely there must be other children, if the marriage is 1837 and Margaret was born 1848.  Could you have a search to see if you can find any more ?

It is Rose McKernan born on the 13 July 1913 and Rosie died on the 2 March 2005 who married Herbert T Moyes who was born 4th Jan 1907 and died on the 2 March 1987.  They then had two children called Barbara Rose Moyes and Herbert Moyes.  I believe that Barbara married DeFelice.

Hi Dettori28,

Yes these details are all correct.  Yes she had a sister Mary living in Philadelphia and a sister Annie Marie.

Yes Rose was born in Draperstown in Doon and so was Mary and Annie Marie.  I have got all the births OK it was what happened after they went to America.

Thanks again for all your help you are really great

Thanks for all your help.  Can you find any ships logs for the husbands of Rose and Mary McKernan as Charles Lowery came from Belfast.  Also is there any information on Annie Marie McKernan as she was another sister she was born in 1923.

Thanks for all your help as always

Was Chales Lowery the husband of Mary who lived in Philladelphia, Kieran.  Can you give me an idea of there ages and was he from Draperstown ?   Obviously Mary was already in Philadelphia when Rose arrived in 1930 going from memory.
Title: Re: DIAMOND
Post by: kieran257 on Thursday 08 July 10 18:24 BST (UK)
Hi Sandra,

Yes Charles Lowry was the husband of Mary.  He came from Belfast his father was Robert Lowery and mother was Jane Duffin.

This is Charles in the 1911 nothern Ireland census.

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for all your help. Not sure as his daughter has listed him as being born in 29 June 1914 but that doesn't work with the census.  He died the 1st November 1972 and lived at Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

Thanks for all your help as always

Kieran
Title: Re: DIAMOND
Post by: *Sandra* on Thursday 08 July 10 22:26 BST (UK)
The Census you put on indicates he was born in 1901.

There is a Charles Arthur Lowry death listed in New Jersey in Nov 1972 with a birth date of 14 June 1914. He was born in Pennsylvania and married Lydia Columbo.  ??? Obviously not yours.

Hi Sandra,

Hello Kieran,

It is better to post your questions on the boards, rather than by personal message, that way it makes it easier to follow what has gone before and everyone can see what it is your looking for.  So hope you don't mind, that is what I have done here. Looks like you have another New York one here.  ;)

Hi Sandra,

Its me again and I was wondering if you can find out anything on the following

Margaret McGuigan born in 1905 and married John Scheer also born in 1905.
Margaret died in 1971 and John died in 1999.

Can you find any ships logs for these or any death notices?

Thanks for all your help

Kieran
Title: Re: DIAMOND
Post by: *Sandra* on Monday 19 July 10 22:26 BST (UK)
This is the lady you mean:-

SSDI Record

Name: Margaret Scheer

Born: 14 Nov 1905
Died: Feb 1971
Last Residence: 10532  Hawthorne, Westchester, New York, United States of America
SSN was issued in: New York (1962)

SSDI Record



John G. Scheer
Born: 8 Apr 1905
Died: 14 Jul 1999
Last Residence: 10532  Hawthorne, Westchester, New York, United States of America
SSN was issued in: New York (Before 1951)

Someone has got an anc.try tree with those 2 names - Margaret is Margaret Eileen Ceclia Mc Guigan and it says she was born November 14, 1905 in New York. John G Scheer April 8, 1905 in Budapest, Hungary. They have no further information - apart from they has a son. (No name given)  So if this information is correct Margaret was already in New York and would'nt appear on a passenger list.

Hello Kieran,

It is impossible for me to send every record, to every person I am helping with research although I do try to help out with what I can, the volume would be to great.  These sites should help you with most things.

It is possible you can see passenger records on the Ellis Island Site - all you have to do is register and then it is free.

http://www.ellisisland.org/

SSDI Records are available here:

http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/

and the pilot site gives alot of census and other records

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start

Alot of your family seem to have been in New York so this site is also very useful

Hope these help:

Can you find any death notice for Bernard McGuigan who Died 4 Dec 1970 in Bronx, New York.

Or do you know what cemetery he was buried in?

Thanks for all your help as always

Kieran
Title: Re: DIAMOND
Post by: *Sandra* on Friday 23 July 10 02:15 BST (UK)
Hello Kieran,

Sorry. I have found no obituary notice for Bernard just the SSDI record in an earlier reply.  Most of the younger infants of that family were buried at Calcary Cemetery. New York. Perhaps he could be buried there as well but that would be a guess.  The only suggestion would be to contact that Cemetery and see if they have any records that would help you.  Perhaps there were family plots there ?  Again, sorry I cannot be more helpful.

Regards.

Hi Sandra,
Thanks very much for looking for the obituary notice for Bernard McGuigan.

Could you look for an obituary notice for

John J. Ohalloran, born 28 May 1919, died 15 Aug 1995 or
Francis E. Ohalloran born in 28 May 1919 death date of 24 Mar. 2009

Or can you find any death details for Anna Ohalloran I notice her dat of birth listed is 11 June 1888 and that is my grandfathers date of birth so maybe she got mixed up with the dates?

Anna husband was John Joseph O'Halloran.  I think the family lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I would as always be very grateful of any information you can find to help see if Anna is My grandfathers sister this would be a great breakthough and I know my auntie would be thrilled if I could get this for her.

Thanks for all your help

We only have the 1920 census with John O Halloran Snr on - he presumably had a passport before he left Ireland, his immigration was supposedly 1912, Anna 1910 - they don't seem to have arrived together.   Were they even married then, the first child is John Joseph in 1919 ?  I could'nt see Passport Application, any Naturalization or Passenger List to fit him or them.

Sorry Kieran, Anthony and Mary came from Ireland originally, managed to locate them back to 1870 but you will need to make enquiries in Ireland. Did my best with the extra passenger list info for Anthony but saw nothing else.
Did not see any death record listed on www.italiangen.org for Anthony either.

Hi Sandra,
Thank you for all your recent work and great that I can get copies of the newspaper articles.  I would really love to get the death notices for the O'Halloran parents or children as this would help work out if this is the right family. 

Thanks as always for all your hard work it is very much appreciated.

Hi Kieran,

I have made a few attempts on those over the weeks but cannot find anything I'm afraid.  John and Francis deaths were both Philadelphia so perhaps contact a public library in that area. Checked for RAOGK in Dade where Vincent died but could'nt see one. Again the only alternative I could think of would be the nearest public library.

Hi Sandra,

Thank you for all your help.  I have made a few discoveries.  Remember Barbara Moyes she married Defelice and also graduated at a University but I don't know which one.

Also remember Kathryn Diamond (1886 - 1968) she married first to surname Molly and then a got divorced after 9 years and married Harold Duryea.

Patrick Diamond was killed in WW1 and Ann (1886) disappeared in Mississippi.

James Joseph Diamond (1892 -1956) married in 1921 to Mary Agnes Moss (1898 - 1959) and had two children James Thomas (1926 - 2006) and Francis Patrick born in 1929.

I am not sure what you will be able to find on any of these but thought it was worth a try.

Thanks for all your help as always

Hello Kieran,

I see the passenger list which you refer to, Mary seems to be travelling with Ellen Farren aged 26 (possibly her sister).  Unfortunately there does'nt seem to be that second page that may have given further information, re parents etc.,   I wonder if this is Mary on the 1900 Census Brooklyn Ward 23, Kings, New York working for the Rawson family but then the trail goes cold again  :( Does'nt appear to be a marriage for Mary or Ellen in New York City under Farren or Farron

Perry B Rawson 24  Margaret A Rawson 24
Margaret P Rawson 1 Rachel L Patterson 63
Mary Farren 23 Born Ireland Sept 1876. Single. Immigrated 1899. Servant

Will send you a pm with details of a possible contact in connection with the Diamond family, hope this will be helpful to you.

Longshot Kieran but just to make you aware of this one.  Where is Ballynease. Ireland ?

Married to a William Henry with 2 sons - Hugh 1905 and Harry 1907. They have a sister-in-law Catherine Farren with them in 1910  ??? The birth year for Mary Ann would be out on what you think and immigration not right either.  ??? Parents Hhugh Farren and Catherine Gurt  ???

1910 Census  Philadelphia Ward 15, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 

William Henry 31 Born ireland. Marriage 1 for 6 years
Mary Ann Henry 40 Born Ireland. had 3 children and 2 survive. Immigrated 1894

Hi Sandra,

Don't think this is the right Farrens as Ballynease is in Portglenone and not Claudy/Limavady.

I will keep this on the backburner as you never know maybe they are related.  Do they have a Robert Farren listed in the tree.  Also I have been talking to my aunties and they seem to think that Francis Patrick Diamond had a tree online.  He had two siblings Kevin Michael born in 1953 and married Nell Koch and Laura Susan Diamond born in 1956 who married Matthew Laughlin.

Thanks for all your help

Presume Edward is the father and Catherine the mother with 3 children Robert, Mary  and Ellen and they are from Derry.   Is that right ? Sent pm on other subject.

Does Kearnan appear anywhere in America as this is the way my family were referred to in the 1831 census and there are a lots of them that I can not find anything on at all so I assume that they maybe went to America.

Hi Sandra,

Thank you for all your help.  I have made a few discoveries.  Remember Barbara Moyes she married Defelice and also graduated at a University but I don't know which one.

Also remember Kathryn Diamond (1886 - 1968) she married first to surname Molly and then a got divorced after 9 years and married Harold Duryea.

Patrick Diamond was killed in WW1 and Ann (1886) disappeared in Mississippi.

I am not sure what you will be able to find on any of these but thought it was worth a try.

Post by: *Sandra* on Friday 01 October 10 13:00 BST (UK)
Hi Kieran,

The post above is almost identical to post 151.  I remember sending you a contact for the Moyes family much earlier.  Perhaps they could help you with details of the lady above - my apologises, she is a living person and there is no further information covering her time - frame that I can find for you. Perhaps you could try whitepages and similar to try and locate her. The only entry I came across, gave the wrong middle initial.

Kathryn Diamond we could never find which Harold Duryea she married. There were quite a number of that name in the New York area.

The earlier passenger lists don't always give a specific place in Ireland where the person is travelling from - we would need dates of birth etc to track Kearnan in the USA, there are quite a number.

Also received a pm from you asking about another lady - we would need the details of her date/place of birth etc on here to be able to help on that one.

Sorry to seem to be unhelpful this time.

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for all your information. 

Kathryn Diamond  got married twice firstly to Molly and then to Duryea.

I guess the Kearnans dates would start from births from 1796 onwards.

As for the pm message I recon she would be in her 40's

Apologises, cleaning out my messages and came across this one 6 th October that slipped the net.

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for all your help and sending the message to Elizabeth.  Yes the other tree is correct also

Could you find the obituary notice for my cousin Patrick Haggerty died April 19, 1959?  He may have lived in NY or California.


Apparently one fo the Haggertys were possibly married to one of the Diamonds.

Thanks for all your help as always you are a star

Kieran

The California Death Index includes 1940 - 1997 but I cannot see Patrick Haggerty listed in 19 April 1959. Its also just a little to early for the SSDI Index I'm afraid.
There is a Patrick Francis Haggerty who died  Jan 1959 Florida who was a resident of Windham. Connecticut born 1898.

Sorry I am unable to find the marriage entry for Bridget Agnes Hanna 28 Dec 1925 New York. You have quite a few mysteries in New York and I wondered if this information might assist you.

Hi Sandra,

As always you find me the information to help me complete more research.  Can you find a obituary notice for my cousin Patrick Haggerty died April 19, 1959.
Also can you find out where Catherine McQuade 1876 - 20 March 1943 was buried?  Did she remarry after James McGuigan died on the 1st August 1919.

Thanks for all your help

Kieran

Think I have explained about cousin Patrick. Catherine was not recorded as having married again, the index only goes to 1937 at the moment but the death record in 1943 was still showing her as Catherine McGuigan. If I remember correctly we did find many Mcguigans through Interment records for Calcary Cemetery. (Reply 109)Have you tried contacting the Cemetery about that one ?  Could be a good possibility she was also buried there.

Hope I am up to date with you now.

Hi Sandra,

Thanks again for all your help.  As always you find information could you please send me any copies of the information that you found. I have been told that my grandfathers sister Annie McKernan nee O'Halloran may have been living somewhere near the America Canadian boarder.  I haven't a clue where that would be.  Have you any ideas?  I would love to get to the bottom of this.

Thanks for all your help as always

Hi Sandra,

I hope you had a very nice Christmas and New Year.  Well when I was at home in December I met up with my auntie and her husband.  Anyway he was telling me that he is supposed to be related to Buddy Holly so i said to him I would try and find out for him if this is the case.  Apparently, Buddy Holly was born in Texas on the September 7, 1936.  Is there anyway of finding out who his parents were. 

Thanks for all your help

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for all this.  Yes this should have been a new thread as this is to do with my uncle Thomas White.  He was also telling me that we are related to the country and western singer Philomena Beggley.  This is on my mums fathers side of the house Farrens.  It is through Agnes Farren who married Leacock Portlengone in Co Derry.

Is there any trees on ancestory with Philomenas family in it or any trees for Farrens the Derry region.

Thanks for all your help

I have located someone with the name and  have e-mailed them.  Back to the Diamonds Annie Diamond married Mullholland and had two sons James and Patrick.  Patricks wife died in May / June 1974 as my aunt has found a letter saying so.

Also is there any chance of finding out where Ann Martel married John Diamond born 1931 died 2003 is buried maybe in Connecticut Cheshire. 

Ann DIAMOND   
Birth Date: 10 Aug 1931 
Death Date: 10 Sep 2003

Hello Kieran,

There is an RAOGK Volunteer in New Haven Connecticut who will do research on vital records and obituaries for Hamden, New Haven, North Haven and Wallingford. Also, pictures of cemetery stones in the same cities and towns.
Perhaps if you e-mail the volunteer and she could find the Obituary, it might say which funeral home or where Ann was buried. First on the list for New Haven on the link below.

http://www.raogk.org/connecti.htm

John P. Diamond. Born about 1932 and aged 22 years (Mothers Name Bridget Cahallan and Father John) Married Ann Martel born about 1931 and aged 23 years (Mothers Maiden Name Marie Lawrence and Father J Armand Martel)) 25 September 1954 Ludlow. Windsor. Vermont.
John P Diamond lived at 8 Pine Street. Mt Kisco. New York.
Ann Marie Martel lived at 8 Pleassant Street. Ludlow. Vermont.

Would need more info on the Mulholland family.

Hi Sandra

Thanks for all your help I have emailed the volunteers like you suggested.  Lets hope they are able to find something.  Would the Mullhollands not come up in the census?

Patrick lived with his wife and her sister.  Annie Diamond Mullholland was born in Scotland on the 17th November 1884.   Her parents were Patrick Diamond and Susan McGuigan.
Would there be a passport application for her?

Thanks for all your help

Title: Re: DIAMOND
Post by: kieran257 on Thursday 17 February 11 22:25 GMT (UK)
Hi Sandra,

I am really hoping that this information might bring some clues to find Annie McKernan and she is listed as a seamstress

She is in the 1901 census
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Londonderry/Draperstown/Drumderg/1543945/

but not in the 1911 so must have left Ireland between 1901 and 1911.  She was maybe marriedto O'Halloran but not sure of this.  My aunties remember there father saying that she was nearly on the Titanic so that would be around 1910 - 1911.

I would love to find a link on her as there would probably be family relations still alive in America.

Thanks for all your help

Hi Sandra,

Annie was more like married in America.  Her two sons Patrick and James would of been born in America so thats why I thought they might be found in the census under Mulholland?

Thanks

Kieran
Title: Re: DIAMOND
Post by: *Sandra* on Friday 18 February 11 11:46 GMT (UK)
Hello Kieran,

There are lots of Mulholland on Census records so you need to be more specific with the details - we need a time frame to work to. There are 217 replies on this thread and going back to look at the information already given - in reply 3 we have Patrick Diamond and Susan in New York with Anna born 1884 - I presume this is the Anna you mean.  In reply 15 Patrick, Susan and daughter Anna are in Maghera for the 1911 Census (Anna unmarried). Later in reply 32 - Susan Helen Diamond goes to either Catherine/Kathryn or Annie and we know Susan applied for a Passport in New York in 1919. Perhaps the marriage of Anna to Patrick Mulholland could have been during this period 1911 - 1919  ??? I can see a death record for Anna Mulholland born 22 November 1984 (date a few days out from your Anna) died Jan 1968 Philadelphia. Pennsylvania but can't see a suitable family in Pennsylvania or New York. I have checked for a passenger list for Anna Diamond or Anna Mulholland returning to the USA after 1911 and cannot see one.  So no luck.

Hi Sandra,
Thanks for all yoyur help.  I have thought of another way to find the family.  I know Annie's son Patrick his wife died in May 1974 as it stated in the letter my auntie has.

Could either of these be Patricks wife?

Alice MULHOLLAND - U.S. Social Security Death Index
Birth: 8 Jun 1921  State Where Number was Issued: New York  Death: May 1974

Jeanette MULHOLLAND - U.S. Social Security Death Index

Hi Sandra,

The address on the letter was from Helen so that isn't going to give any clues as she lived in the Bronx New York.  She was telling my aunties about the sad news about Patricks wife but didn't state her name.

Thats why the information I have isn't great.

Hello Kieran,

Sorry - have'nt had much luck with Diamond/Mulholland yet.  Went back to Patrick Diamond Passenger List in reply 8 - you should have a copy of that one - it referred to Patricks return to New York in 1913.
It states he had been in New York from 1898 - 1908, it also names his daughter as Mrs Kate Walters - 875 E 180 Street. NY.  Tthis the daughter that you thought had married a Duryea  ??? Wondering if Catherine was married twice  ??? What do you reckon ?

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for all your help.  As far as I know Catherine married twice once to Marge Molly and then to Harold Duryea I got this information from a cousin.   I have been able to get one of the death notices and will hopefully get the other one next week.

Did you have any look with the McKernan information this seems another brick wall.

Thanks for all your help as always

Nothing on Annie McKernan 1883 that I can tie up to your Annie I'm afraid.

Hello Kieran,

Pleased to hear you have found some further information to help your search.
Yes, I have checked McKernan and Halloran/O'Halloran/Holloran/Haloran etc and found nothing suitable.
This is the DIAMOND thread - information about others should be a new thread. - otherwise it is getting to complicated for others to try and follow.  It takes a long time to go back over/re-read and check what has happened previously.

Catheine I find rather a mystery because you originally were looking for a birth 1895.

On the 1900 Census, Catherine was listed as born 1888 Ireland and was 13 years old  ???
Catherine isn't with the family on your 1911 Ireland Census Record.
I can see a SSDI Record for a Catherine Duryea born 11 Aug 1897 Died July 1980 Brooklyn. Kings. New York.

and another SSDI for Catherine Duryea born 6th May 1900 Died January 1967

The first one was married to Frank F Duryea and their is a US Veterans Gravesite information for that one below

Name: Catherine Duryea
Service Info.: SGT US ARMY  Birth Date: 11 Aug 1897
Death Date: 20 Jul 1980
Relation: Wife of Duryea, Frank F
Interment Date: 23 Jul 1980
Cemetery: Long Island National Cemetery
Cemetery Address: 2040 Wellwood Avenue Farmingdale, NY 11735-1211
Buried At: Section 2d Site 2371

If Catherine was born 1895-8 then I would have to assume she went back to Ireland with the family in 1907 so would hope to find a passenger record of her returning married or unmarried. Have'nt found an unmarried one yet.

My grandfather's sister Frances Maria (10-05-1884-23-04-1943) married Anthony McKeirnan. I think he was from the Ballinamore area of Co. Leitrim, they had 2 boys Mel and Oliver.

Hi Sandra,

Thank you for all your help.  I have been completing more research on the McKernan surname and found out it can be spelt various ways.  That's maybe why we can't find Annie or Mary.

The various ways are Kearnan, Keernan, Keirnan, Kernan, Kernane, Kiernan, Kirnan, McKearnan, McKernan, McKiernan, McKirnan and McKernon  I am not sure if this will bring any of them to light.

The surname for O'Halloran can be spelt like Hallaran, Halleran, Halloran, Halloren, Haloran,   Hollaran, Holleran, Holloran, Holoran and O'Halloran

Would it be possible to try these surnames to see if anything comes to light or maybe you have already tried this?

Post by: kieran257 on Saturday 09 April 11 16:54 BST (UK)
Hi Kieran

Saw a post you did on a Belfast Forum in April and you refer to a marriage between John P Hanna and Agnes Diamond.

http://www.belfastforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=29659.0

Does that mean that there is Bridget Agnes and Agnes are one and the same ?

Is this Agnes in New York ?

1930 Census Bronx, New York

John Hanna 31 Born England. Father England. Mother N.Ireland.Married at 27 years. Operator. Ind.  ... Railway. Immigrated 1922
Agnes Hanna 27 Born New York of Irish Parents. Married at 25 years.
Plus 2 children. 1 Male John F Hanna 4 th Oct 1927 - 12 April 1993 SSDI Record
1 Female:- Mary E Hanna 19 Oct 1926 - 2004

Your post says "I am looking for the marriage of John P Hanna from Castlewellan Co Down to Agnes Diamond probably around 1901 or so"


Interestingly there is a New York Passenger List for John Hanna which ties in nicely with the immigration date on the above Census.
Name: John Hanna
Arrival Date: 4 Dec 1922 Birth Year: abt 1900 Birth Location: England
Birth Location Other: Battersea .London
Age: 22 Gender: Male. Single at this date. Occupation:- Farm Labourer.
Nationality: Irish
Port of Departure: Londonderry
Port of Arrival: New York, New York
Ship Name: Columbia

Father listed as Hugh Hanna. Drumariad. Castlewellan. Co Down. He was going to Uncle John Hanna. 1836 Arthur Avenue. Bronx. New York.

So the marriage quite possibly is in New York about 1925/26 unless I can find another passenger list that puts John Hanna back in Ireland.

What do you reckon to a New York Marriage  ?

Name: John F. Hanna
 
Last Residence: 10471  Bronx, Bronx, New York.
Born: 4 Oct 1927
Died: 12 Apr 1993

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for all your help.  Remember you found the uncle John Hanna this would tie as he had an uncle born in 1866 to Patrick Hanna and Bridget Doran.  He also had a brother called Charles Patrick born in 1864 and Elizabeth born in 1870.

Can you find out if any of these also came to John and when did he die?

Thanks for all your help

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for all your help but I have got to the bototm of the mystery of Kathryn.  She is buried in the Gates of Heaven cemetery.  So this confirms this is her. Can you find her husband or her passport application?

Thanks for all your help

Hello Kieran,

Sorry, never came across a passport application for Kathryn Duryea.  Have you contacted the Gates of Heaven Cemetery to see who is buried with her - perhaps they will have the name of her husband on the records. ?

Hi Kieran

Saw a post you did on a Belfast Forum in April and you refer to a marriage between John P Hanna and Agnes Diamond.

http://www.belfastforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=29659.0

Does that mean that there is Bridget Agnes and Agnes are one and the same ?

Is this Agnes in New York ?

1930 Census Bronx, New York

John Hanna 31 Born England. Father England. Mother N.Ireland.Married at 27 years. Operator. Ind.  ... Railway. Immigrated 1922
Agnes Hanna 27 Born New York of Irish Parents. Married at 25 years.
Plus 2 children. 1 Male John F Hanna 4 th Oct 1927 - 12 April 1993 SSDI Record
1 Female:- Mary E Hanna 19 Oct 1926 - 2004

Your post says "I am looking for the marriage of John P Hanna from Castlewellan Co Down to Agnes Diamond probably around 1901 or so"


Interestingly there is a New York Passenger List for John Hanna which ties in nicely with the immigration date on the above Census.
Name: John Hanna
Arrival Date: 4 Dec 1922 Birth Year: abt 1900 Birth Location: England
Birth Location Other: Battersea .London
Age: 22 Gender: Male. Single at this date. Occupation:- Farm Labourer.
Nationality: Irish
Port of Departure: Londonderry
Port of Arrival: New York, New York
Ship Name: Columbia

Father listed as Hugh Hanna. Drumariad. Castlewellan. Co Down. He was going to Uncle John Hanna. 1836 Arthur Avenue. Bronx. New York.

So the marriage quite possibly is in New York about 1925/26 unless I can find another passenger list that puts John Hanna back in Ireland.

What do you reckon to a New York Marriage  ?

Name: John F. Hanna
 
Last Residence: 10471  Bronx, Bronx, New York.
Born: 4 Oct 1927
Died: 12 Apr 1993

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for all your help.  Remember you found the uncle John Hanna this would tie as he had an uncle born in 1866 to Patrick Hanna and Bridget Doran.  He also had a brother called Charles Patrick born in 1864 and Elizabeth born in 1870.

Can you find out if any of these also came to John and when did he die?

Thanks for all your help

Hi Kieran,

Did you contact the grandson or grandaughter of John Hanna mentioned in the Obituary I sent for his daughter Mary E Hanna/Barlow - they may be able to give you the details on grandfather John Hanna.  The grandson was still living in Baldwin. New York.  I can see from the UK BMD Index a birth recorded in June 1899 Wandsworth. London but do you have an exact date of birth for John Hanna ?
Bridget Agnes Diamond made a passport application and was issued one through the American Consul in London.  Stated her father Patrick Diamond was still living in New York carrying on business as a Contractor. That he first immigrated about 1890 and has lived uninteruptedly in the US for 31 years - 1890 - 1921. Bridget was legally domiciled in Maghera. Derry. Ireland but her permanent residence was in New York City. She left the USA in 1908 and had lived in Maghera with her Mother. Bridget intended to return to the US within one month of the date may 14th 1921. It states she intends to return to the US in the company of her Mother to reside with her father at 346 East 65 th Street. New York City., Signed at the American Consulate in Belfast on 30th April 1921. Bridget was 20 years old. 5 ft 4 inches. Medium forehead. Straight Nose. Medium Mouth. Round Chin. Black Hair. Ruddy Complexion. and Round Face.
States that although the applicant had no identifying witness - they believed that she was the party referred to in the application through documents submitted by Rev Louis P Bossard of St Jerome's Church. New York showing that the applicant was born on 22 March 1901 and baptised 31 st March 1901. (Also contans a photograph of Bridget Agnes Diamond) It states that she retuirned to Ireland aged 7 years in 1908 because her Mother was ill. Her Mother would now be returning to her father in New York and Bridget required the passport to accompany her to join her father.

Bridget Diamond did travel to the US on New York Passenger List arriving 27th May 1921 on SS Celtic but seemed to be travelling alone.

Nothing jumps out for Charles Patrick Hanna or Elizabeth Hanna that I can see at the moment.

Hi Sandra,

Thank you for all your help.  Yes i have contacted the grandaughter of John  Hanna.  She doesn't know much about the Hanna conntection at all.  You are seeing John Hanna who was the generation before him.  The one I am tring to find information on is the one the generation before that who was born in 1866 to Patrick Hanna and Bridget Doran.  There are two many John's but this might be the uncle John that John Hanna went out to.  I would be very grateful if you can send me any documents you have been able to find and the photo you found.  Maybe Charles and Elizabeth stayed in the Co Down.

Hello Kieran,

My hunch would be that they stayed in New York and possibly died in New York but apart from checking www.italiangen.org there are no other online death records to check. Having just a quick look at the children of John and Margaret I would suspect that these are 2 who stayed in New York.  ???

According to a family tree entry Loretta Elizabeth Hanna born 15 January 1912 Bronx. New York married Joseph James Gleeson April 26th 1936

http://www.rootschat.com/links/0co6/

Loretta Died Nov 1979 in Suffolk County  (Last Residence: 11971  Southold, Suffolk, New York ) and husband Joseph Joseph James Gleeson - Born 9 Jan 1909 in Bronx  - Died Feb 1990 in Suffolk County. The only entry I could find for a Joseph J Gleeson was  -  Joseph J. Gleeson  - Born: 9 Jan 1908  - Died: 14 Feb 1988 (which is slightly different to what the tree entry said )  SSN issued: New York (Before 1951)


This SSDI entry could be the son Edmund Hanna. Born 5 July 1919 and Died March 1959
SSN issued: New York (Before 1951)

The site below is always worth checking - slow to load but will eventually settle down.

While it's generally good to keep everything in one place, this thread has gotten rather long and gone in so many different directions that it's hard to follow the plot.  Perhaps you could start a separate thread about Gertrude Mulholland and give us whatever other information you have about her that might be pertinent.

Sadly those earlier passenger lists sometimes do not show enough information to positively identify someone - this doesn't state where she was born or any parents names which would have helped.
Doesn't seem to be travelling with a companion.
