Hi all,

I am trying to find additional information on my Great Grandfather, James McDonnell, about whom I know very little.

This is what I know.

He was born in approximately 1866.
He was married to a woman called Annie in approximately 1896(states on 1911 census he has been married 15 years). Only one child from this marriage reached adulthood, my Grandmother Katie F McDonnell.
He was married a second time, to (I think) Honor (Honora) Doherty but I don't know if this was before or after he was married to Annie.
He appears on 1901 census living(working) in Liverpool, aged 35, surname mis-transcribed as McDonald.
He appears on 1911 census living in Castlerea, Roscommon, Ireland in the townland of Arm, aged 44.
Other Castlerea placenames associated with him are Ballindrimley and Cloondahara!!
He died in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1941,age recorded as 72 but more likely to have been 75.

That is all I know about him.

My questions are the usual ones.
Did he have any children with his other wife?
Did he have siblings?
Who were his mother and father?
What was his wife Annie's maiden name?
When did his 2 wives die?

Any information would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
Paul.

Hi, I am trying to find details on my Great uncle James Gallagher, who emigrated to New York from Ireland. He was born in 1879, son of Hugh Gallagher and Bridget(Biddy) Gallagher (nee Hanlon).I have found a death on 24th October 1912 in Manhattan for a James Gallagher,aged 32. His parents' names match and he was unmarried. My great uncle was also single but I never heard it said that he died so young.I am looking for any additional information on this gentleman,so as to establish if he is indeed my great uncle. His address at time of death was 351 West 30th Street New York, his occupation is listed as Fireman and he was buried in Calvary Cemetery on 29th October 1912.

Thanks.
Paul.

Hi all.
I am trying without success to find the record of Patrick Cannon sailing from Ireland to USA,possibly in 1910.His father was John Cannon and they lived in Meenacarn,Lettermacaward,Co Donegal.He was born in 1887.
I have him living with his wife Mary (Duffy) Cannon at 2506 Sharswood Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1914 as per (unfortunately) a death cert for his still born daughter.
I have him still at this address in the 1920 census with his wife and thankfully 3 children born since he lost his daughter.He states on this census return that he emigrated in 1910.
He is still at this address in 1923 as per his younger brother Peter's 'travelling to' address when he emigrates in 1923.
Any help in finding the record of Patrick emigrating, or indeed any information relating to him in USA would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
Paul.

Hi all, I can locate my Grandfather's brother, John Gallagher aged 53, living in 42 Sterling Place, Kings (Brooklyn) in the 1940 US census. I can also locate his death on 24th November 1946,while still living at the same address.
I am having trouble finding any useful information on his 3 sons:
^(*)Gallagher born 1922 in New York
^(*) Gallagher born 1924 in New York
^(*) Gallagher born 1928 in New York
I have found bits and pieces on people with these names, but nothing where I can say, this is definitely my mother's first cousin.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Paul.
