Hi,
I am looking for help please!

 My Uncle John Joseph Hill was born in Brighton Ma 23 March 1931 and died in Milton Ma, Aug 1999. I was researching his "first marriage" to Joyce Elinor Shippee on 23 April 1955, which took place in Hinsdale, New Hampshire, when I discovered he was already divorced at the age of 24!! He was living in Brattleboro, Vermont at this time. He subsequently married again in 1964 (His mother was Iris King, and father also John J Hill)

While I have details from marriage #2 & #3, I would love some help to find out who was his spouse in marriage #1, which must have taken place prior to 1955, and to see if there were children of this marriage. Any help or direction you could give me would be greatly appreciated as I am unsure as to how to proceed
Thank you in advance

Hi
Your help would be greatly appreciated!

My great grand uncle Michael Callahan was naturalised  in the Circuit Court in Boston on Sept 26th 1908. Can these be viewed online as I do not live in the US?

Many thanks in advance

Hi,
Could someone advise me as to where I could find a work record on Michael Callahan, who, on the attached picture, states he was a fireman. The address he gave for the return of his passport was 21 Parker Street, Charlestown, and that was in 1922. I found a passenger listing of him returning from Queenstown ,Ireland to Boston, in Sept 1922 and the address he gave was his brothers, 9 Leon Street, Roxbury so I am a bit confused . I cannot find any trace of him after that so was hoping that if I could find a work record, it may give me a new lead. Any help & suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in anticipation!

Hi. I'd love some help to find out what happened to my grand uncle Michael Cahalane please.
Michael was born 20 Nov 1887, in Drishanebeg, Skibbereen, Co.Cork. His parents were Jeremiah Cahalane & Catherine (Kate)Collins.  His siblings were John, Patrick,Jeremiah, Cornelius, William & Kate.
He went to the USA 11th May 1911 on board the "Ivernia" to his brother Patrick. In 1914, his brother William travelled to the USA to Michael and the address at that time was 19 Largton Street, Roxbury, Ma. After that my trail runs cold. Some siblings remained "Cahalane" while two others were "Callahan" so i'm not sure which Michael was. Family history says he worked in San Francisco, as well as Boston. He was due tomeet up and travel back to Ireland with his brother Patrick around 1924, but he never showed and the mystery began. As my dad is elderly now, I would love to try and find out what happened to his uncle and give some closure to this story.
I'm attaching a photo of Michael (seated) and his younger brother William (Sgt William Callahan, 308th Infantry,Company E,77th Battalliion, died Dec 1922 and buried in New Calvary ?? Cemetery, Roxbury Ma).
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Cath
