Ireland / Michael Monahan
« on: Thursday 29 April 10 02:48 BST (UK) »
My grandfather-in-law, Michael Monahan, was born in Ireland in July 1861. He emigrated to United States in 1879. In 1885 he became a naturalized citizen. He married "Mary" in 1887, who also had been born in Ireland in 1865 (I think her maiden name was Kelly, but am not sure) and emigrated either in 1868 or 1874. In 1900 he lived on Nelson Street in Brooklyn, NY. In 1910 he lived on Butler Avenue in Brooklyn, NY. In 1920 he lived on St. Mark's Place in Brooklyn, NY. In 1939 he lived at 1139 E. 36th Street, Brooklyn, NY. He and Mary had 7 children: Mary born in 1888; Margaret born in 1893, Catherine born in 1896, Andrew born in 1899, Edward born in 1903, Elizabeth, born in 1906, and my mother-in-law, Josephine born on July 30, 1907. I am trying to find our where in Ireland they were born, and who their parents were. I would appreciate any assistance.

WOW!
Elizabeth Callahan, born September 8, 1873 in County Leitrim, Ireland, parents James Callahan and Catherine Leahy, came to America in 1888, and married John Tucker in 1892 in Newark New Jersey and had 4 children with him. Then he left (or died). She married someone else (don't know his name), but he died. Then she married Mr. Sloan (don't know first name). He also died. I remember her, a widow, my great grandmother, and sat with her in Brooklyn in 1958 in her apartment, but I have no photos. She died in Brooklyn April 25, 1963.
I am guessing that we have the same great grandmother!
John Tucker, born in County Longford, Ireland, (don't know the town) iin (1870 (or 1869)), parents Andrew Tucker and Ann Casey, married someone first (don't know who or if in Ireland or USA.) Then he married Elizabeth Callahan in 1892 in Newark New Jersey. He left her after fathering 4 children. One of those children was George Tucker, my grandfather, born September 27, 1900 in Brooklyn, who married Mae McDemott in Brooklyn and had 4 children and who died July 13, 1961 in Brooklyn.
I am guessing that we have the same great grandfather. Who was your great grandmother married to John Tucker?

Thank you so much-- I have been going through, and although I have not yet found Tucker or Callahan, I did find my great grandfather and his father -- Moore.
I will keep searching through. Thanks a million!

No, oral history from Elizabeth Callahan (who came from County Leitrim) to her daughter, to her daughter (my aunt). We have nothing in writing except the marriage in 1892 in Newark, New Jersey. And they did live in Brooklyn.

Thank you all so much. I did copy the 1911 census for an Ann Toher. Thank you for your help.
???I am not sure if this is the right ancester. It seems Ireland is harder to trace ancesters in than England, what with the name changes. My John Tucker would have been in the United States before 1890, as he was married in 1892 in New Jersey. She came from County Leitrim. They also lived in New York. He did leave Elizabeth Callahan (with 4 children). She remarried two more times, the last time to a "unknown Sloan". She is also in the suffragette parades n 1919 in New York. But I have no other information about John Tucker. Just that he was married one time before Elizabeth and that he left her with 4 children.
I did print out the 1911 census for Ann Toher. Thank you all.

"Here's Andrew marriage on IGI under TOHER. but it's a Suubmitted entry. Sooo!!
Andrew Toher
Marriages:
Spouse: Annie Casey Family
Marriage:
12 SEP 1865 Granard, Longford, Ireland "
Thank you so much; This sounds promising. Does it also show John Tucker going to America? He married in 1892 in Newark New Jersey. Does it show if Andrew or Annie went to America? What were the names of the other 2 children? Thank you....

Shane,
I am not positive about Longford -- this is the information handed down through the years. But what about the one that aghadowey found -- born in 1871 and emigrated in 1885 and married in Newark to my Elizabeth Callahan in 1892.

I tried www.castlegarden.org for a John Tucker to U.S. c1885, but only came up with a 30-year old John Tucker who came frome Ireland, but no Ann Tucker or Andrew Tucker.
In the census, where was he living, and who else was living with him?
