Title: John Galvin (various spellings)
Post by: marrle on Sunday 01 October 17 13:22 BST (UK)
Hello,

This John was born 1856 Sutton St,Helens Lancashire parents Daniel & Sabina Galvin nee (Burke),
I have lost all the records I found for John when he was in the USA.

John is in St.Helens on the 1871 Census but that's the last time we have him in St.Helens.

Can anyone help please to find John in the USA,

Thanks Margie.

Something wrong with this entry because they are quoting a son Donald Patrick Galvin 1905 - 1978 but the obituary attached shows different parents -

Hi Margie,

Give a shout if you need anything else.  Let me know if you want a copy of the death cert for John Galvin or any other bits and bobs.  Think I have your e-mail address somewhere in the archives - we must have a catch up.
