That is a great idea.  In keeping with the spirit of providing links here is a link to a page I created on FB to show where my GF came from.

I found out today that the Brookline Public Library has this city directory available and I was planning a visit.   Thank you for saving me the trip.  It is too bad that the directory is not available on line.

It is difficult to say.  Supposedly she was born in 1890 so I thought at age 11 she would have shown up on the 1901 census.  In 1911 at age 21 she may have left Ireland for the USA.  The earliest record that I have found in the USA for Julia is on the 1920 USA Census.  She was married to John J Shine and living in Brookline MA.  Had one son John that was born in 1919.

Ireland / Kain/Kane/Keane from Barna Keeraun Galway

Thomas Kain was born in December 1876 in Barna, Keeraun, Gallway, Ireland.  His parents were William and Sarah Kelly Kain (spelling is from birth certificate for Thomas).

Thomas left Ireland for the USA.  His destination was Brookline, Massachusetts where his sister Anne lived.  He traveled on the SS Saxonia and arrived in April 1905. 

According to the 1901 Irish Census Kain became Kane and then in 1911 it was listed as Keane.  When Thomas arrived in the USA he became Kane.  Thomas was one of 9 children, 4 that I know of came to the USA 5 remained in Ireland.

I have been trying for 5 years to find any relative in Ireland that can help me with information on the siblings that stayed in Ireland.  My goal is to find a Kain/Keane/Kane in the Village of Barna, Galway that can help me to fill in the details.

I also have a mystery to solve.  Thomas had a sister named Julia.  I have not been able to find any record of her existence in Ireland.  I have found the 1901 and 1911 Census that lists the family but no "Julia"  So where did Julia come from?

There is so much that I would like to know and I am willing to share all my information on the siblings and their families that came to the USA.  Hopefully a realtive from Ireland will respond.

Thank you.

Thank you I have found out more from this forum in less than one day than I obtained in searching the web for the past 5 years.

Sandra the census link works for me, I have located all of my GF Thomas Kane siblings that I knew to have come to the USA.

Grub, You solved the mystery about the arrival date for the Saxonia.   You also more importantly identified Annie his sister.  I had found Annie on the Irish Census in 1901 but only knew her as Julia.  She did live at 41 Park St in Brookline.  Also my GF Thomas Kane did loose his right eye.  I always thought it was from an accident at the paper mill he worked in, now I know that the eye was defective when he arrived in Boston.

Thank you all very much.

It is great to see an active website with people willing to help.  Thanks Craig for posting the original inquiry. 

Thomas was born in December 1876 in Barna, Keeraun, Gallway, Ireland.  His parents were William and Sarah Kelly Kain (spelling is from birth certificate). 

According to his application for naturalization he did arrive on the SS Saxonia in March 1905.  I have not found a passenger list but I have confirmed that the ship did arrive in Boston on 7 March 1905

The USA Census data for 1901 and 1920 that Sandra and Erato found are indeed the same family, and it is the correct family.  Thomas and Bridget are my Grandparents, Mary is my mother and the others listed are my Aunts and Uncle.  I have not been able to find direct access to the census and would love to know how Sandra and Erato accessed this data.

According to the 1901 Irish Census Kain became Keane.  When Thomas arrived in the USA he became Kane.  Thomas was one of 9 children, 4 that I know of came to the USA 5 remained in Ireland.

I have been trying for 5 years to find any relative in Ireland that can help me with information on the siblings that stayed in Ireland.  The goal is to find a Kain/Keane/Kane in the Village of Barna, Galway that can help me to fill in the details. 

I really would like to know if the sister Anne listed on the 1901 census could possibly be Julia.  Thomas had a sister that came to the USA but her name was Julia not Anne.  She may have been going by her middle name. 

There is so much that I would like to know and I am willing to share all my information on the siblings and their families that came to the USA.

I have posted a picture of Thomas and Bridget taken in 1950 at East Walpole, MA USA

Thank you for whatever help may come from this posting.
