Where did Thomas and Mary Kerr (nee Mullark) live after their wedding in 1940 New York.
-
Could you please give us some more details to work with as Thomas Kerr and Mary Kerr are fairly common names.
some examples:
ages and places/countries of birth
when/where were they married (eg early enough to be in the 1940 census?)
"New York", is this the state New York or New York City. If it is NY state then what is the county/town, if it is NYC then which borough (eg Manhatten) ... etc
rgds, Sylvia

There is a marriage listed New York City - slightly different spelling of Mullark ???
Thomas A Kerr and Mary A Malark - 15 August 1940 - New York City, New York ??? Is that the couple.

Yep, without all the details you can end up with a whole lot of "Malarkey" ;)
(sorry but I could not resist that one ...LOL)
-
Thank you very much for replying..... :) and yes very confusing surnames....Sometimes it`s Mulark then, Mullark, Mallark, Mylark etc etc.
I don`t know anything about Thomas Kerr only Mary Ann Mullark or Malark (could be her) she was
born in 1906 in Roscommon, Rooskey. Emigrated to America in May 1930, age 24. I have no idea if in New York State or New York City, sorry. ???

Mary with parents and brother in 1911 Moneenbog (Roosky, Roscommon)

Could there be a little problem here?
I assume that this Mary’s place of birth Mooneebeg(naturalisation) or Moneabeg(immigration) refers to the place Moneybeg (or Muine Bheag).
I believe that this place is in county Carlow and NOT in Roscommon, so this might NOT be the correct Mary Mullark????
-
OK I can see now that it is a very far away version of Moneenbog
-
Thank you very very much.....You have been absolutely amazing :o...truly fantastic!
How could I find out if they had more children.....Step brothers and step sisters for Peggy?
Thank you once again....
-
That is great info Sandra and Treespirit :)
We have a lot of detail on Mary Ann. Her naturalization app certainly helped in confirming a whole set of questions outstanding which is what had started this search for twilight7
Her death details bring her life story to an end. I failed earlier in finding those...so well done Sandra!
As twilight7 has mentioned, is there any way of finding if there were any children from this marriage? She married Thomas at 35 years old, so maybe not...

Also any idea of there last know address Drumemos???? Thank you
The last residence was probably same as her mother - Mrs Ellen Mullark - Drumminmore (Drummanmore) Ruskey but written incorrectly on the passenger manifest.
Unfortunately there are no BMD records in the USA from 1940 until they passed away 1961 and 1968. You would need to try and locate death notices or obituaries to get further information on children or relatives.
