Donegal / Dominick Cannon - Year and place of death?

« on: Saturday 22 June 19 11:35 BST (UK) »

Hi, Dominick Cannon was born 12th June 1908 at Meenacarn, Lettermacaward, County Donegal to John Cannon and Sheelah ( aka Sisely, Cecilia) McHugh Cannon. He was present at his parents' deaths in 1937 and 1939. I cannot find a record of his death in Ireland.He may have followed some of his brothers to Scotland after his parents died. Any help finding his year and place of death would be great.

Thanks.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Can a photograph be 'de-colourised'? Tylers Shoeshop, O'Connell Street Dublin

« on: Wednesday 06 March 19 20:43 GMT (UK) »

Hi, I have a digital 'colour' copy of a photograph which was taken in 1911 and was originally black and white.I have seen the original black and white photo and in my opinion it is much superior. Is there anyone on this forum who could return my photo to black and white?

Thanks.

United States of America / Is there any way to interrogate Column 19 of New York passenger arrival lists?

« on: Saturday 27 October 18 14:36 BST (UK) »

I remember being told that my great uncle,who had already settled in Brooklyn, took in dozens of people from his part of rural Ireland when they first arrived in New York.Is there any way of interrogating column 19 of the New York passenger arrival lists to find out how many times a particular address is recorded,either on the Ellis Island or Familysearch versions of passenger lists?

Thank you.

Antrim / Clay/Molloy family Drummaul parish 1860s

« on: Sunday 18 June 17 12:53 BST (UK) »

Hi, I was tempted to 'hi-jack' the Mitchell/Walsh family topic thread, so as to avail of the expertise on Drammaul parish displayed,but thought better of it and started this new thread!
I have a Charles Clay marrying an Ellen Colgan in 1863 in Drummaul parish, but by the time they moved to Belfast in 1865 the family surname had changed to Molloy. I have found one instance where the baptism surname was registered as Clay, but on the original document the family name is written as Clay Molloy.
Were the surnames Clay and Molloy prevalent in Drummaul in the 1860s and would anyone have any idea why Charles Clay (and indeed his brother William from Duneane parish) changed their surnames.
Thanks.

Dublin / Spollen family, 21 Temple Cottages, Broadstone, Dublin.

« on: Sunday 12 March 17 12:02 GMT (UK) »

Hi,
There was a Mary Spollen, aged 33,born Ireland, boarding with my relatives in the 1940 US census. I have established when Mary (Josephine) Spollen came to America, what she worked at and when and where she died in America.My query is with her family back in Ireland.Mary had a younger sister(who also emigrated to USA) called Catherine. Her birth record in 1908 is (strangely) not available on the Irish Genealogy civil records website but can be found on the Familysearch website recorded as Catherine Mary Spollen. I know it is not that unusual for 2 sisters to both have the same forename,one using it as her primary forename and the other sister having it as a secondary forename.But what is highly unusual is that another sister was born in 1915 and was given the name Mary (Magdalen) Spollen. Bear in mind her older sister Mary (Josephine) Spollen was still alive.
Any thoughts? Also,can anyone establish what became of the younger Mary (Magdalen) Spollen?

Thanks.

United States of America / Mary Spollen, Brooklyn 1940 -what became of her?

« on: Monday 27 February 17 21:46 GMT (UK) »

Hi,
I am trying to find out what became of Mary Spollen, who was boarding with the Gallagher family at 42 Sterling Place,Brooklyn in the 1940 US census.I think I have established her back story,but cannot be 100% sure.
These are the bullet points.

Mary (Josephine) Spollen, age 4, 1911 Irish Census, living at 21 Temple Cottages,Dublin.

Mary (Catherine) Spollen, age 21 of 21 Temple Cottages, Dublin emigrating to USA in 1930, bound for 23 William Street, Newport, Rhode Island.

Mary (Josephine) Spollen, living at 1 Chester Court, Brooklyn making a naturalisation petition in November 1933.

Mary Spolen,age 33,single, 1940 US census, boarding at 42 Sterling Place, Brooklyn with the Gallagher family.

Mary Spollen, aged 77,died in 1983 New York as per U S social security index.

I am trying to establish if all these 'Mary Spollens' are the same person.If anyone can provide any additional information to help me 'join the dots' I would be very grateful.
Thanks.
Paul.
