Thats quite a find there.
So, its probable that the husband William died in Ireland by the looks of it then.
Thanks for that

As for the immigration year I must of got it off another census or something. Going by that article they probably emigrated 1865/66.

I also came across this grave which may or may not be Mary Blanchfield (the mother)

Not sure.

I am looking at a family that lived in Jersey City and I am wondering if any details could be found in newspapers. As the period is 1860-1880 maybe too early.

Catherine Foley Kiely died I believe 11 Dec 1879 at Jersey City, Hudson, born about 1835 Ireland. She left behind a sizable family including husband Michael Kiely.
These are the children in 1880 with their grandmother Mary Foley (excluding Michael - not sure where he is)

I have not loacted them in the 1860 census. Their son John is 11 in the 1870 census so presumably they were married with child John (born New Jersey) in 1860.

They might be living in 175 Warren street, Jersey City in 1881, thats only a maybe based on the names

Hello,

I am wondering if someone can help me find a date of death for a Michael Norris who was born abt 1861 and died in Massachusetts. He married Margaret Moore in 1882.
They are living in Suffolk, MA in the 1900 census.
He is also in the 1910 census but not the 1930. So must have died sometime within this time frame.
They had a number of children incl John F 1883, Joanna, Thomas, Edward and Mary 1893.

In their son' "John F" death notice in 1949 it states "beloved son of the late Michael Norriss and Margaret (Moore)". John died in Cambridge, MA

FYI, its Michaels death I am most interested in finding. His obit if one exists might include info on his Irish background...
No hints come up on ancestry.com regarding death nor have any trees with him in it have this detail.

many thanks

Moving back to original query of finding Francis in 1940.

I have located a marriage cert for him. He married in Feb 1930 to Mary A. Logan. Francis was born in 1907 and Mary is noted as being 22 years old on cert.
I have looked for them on both the 1930 and 1940 census with no luck. I would have thought that they would have jumped out in 1930, I'm obviously just plain old crap when it comes to hunting people down! Perhaps one of them died before 1940.
Just to refresh. Francis was alive in 1939 as he is noted on his mothers naturalisation paper and living in New York City.
