He looks interesting.
I would think that this John is a cousin to John/Patrick of my ancestors. Their is only one Nugent family in Corrkakyle so I assume that this John's father moved away and married Anne XXX, who at some time after 1911, moved back to the townland. There was no Anne Nugent living in Corrakyle or nearby in the 1911 census.
Hillaloe(?), is Killaloe, Curraghkyle is Currakyle and Cahis is Cahir. All are close to Currakyle.
Our John had a sister, Annie Nugent who may be the one on the manifest although there are a number of differences in terms of names/ages etc to make it likely.
The Adriatic arrived in NY almost a year to the day when that other White Line ship RMS Titanic should have arrived. The Adriatic was originally captained by Edward Smith, who later moved to the Titanic.
John was fortunate that he didn't decide to visit his sister Anne a year earlier.......
