Hi Dettori28,

Thanks for your reply.  I got some of the records from LDS and the other was a look up that gave me the full parents. I am going home shortly to Ireland so the responses might not be as quick as I won't always have the internet.

However, do worry I will get back in touch. 

I can't thank you enough for all your help.  Hopefully, I will be able to get to the bottom of my fathers family soon

Thanks

Kieran

Those are Kernan and not McKernan and the death places are in 2 different locations.  No census seems to show a Bridget and Andrew Kernan/ McKernan together in either of those locations that I can see.

Going back to Susan Helen Diamond who married Harry Bradley.

These are the SSDI Records for those 2. No luck with obituaries to fill in the blanks

Name: Harry Bradley
Born: 28 Jun 1928
Died: Apr 1986
Last Benefit: 10454  Bronx, Bronx, New York, United States of America
SSN issued: Pennsylvania (Before 1951)

Name: Helen Bradley
Last Residence: 10467  Bronx, Bronx, New York.

Hi Kieran,

I've been looking at John Hanna again and although his age would be out on that 1910 census, 1920 make him 1869/70 which isn't to far out.  I think the census records I gave seems the best match for him. He even calls his son John P Hanna - born 1909 New Jersey.  Might see if I can anything on him 

The McKernan family are a mystery and I still see no census with them on it.  Could be mistranscribed but I've even tried variations of that and got "zilch"

On the 1910 census John P Hanna was 2 months old.  The census was taken 18th April 1910.  So this SSDI Record seems to fit:- 

Name: John P. Hanna
Born: 20 Feb 1910
Died: 14 Nov 1989
Last Residence: 10470  Bronx, Bronx, New York, United States of America

Hi Dettori28,

Thanks for your reply. The wedding record for Andrew and Bridget lists them as Andrew Kernan/Keirnan and Biddy Haran.

So you can see that the names have changed over the years.
Maybe there daughter Margaret born on the 03/02/1848 would be easier to find.


Thanks for all your help

Yes, I see that which is why I checked for Andrew, Bridget and Margaret Kernan and McKernan and lots of other variations.  I can find a Bridget Kernan born 1810 Ireland in New York in 1850 but no Andrew or Margaret. That family of Kernan were also in the USA before 1837 and Margaret was'nt born until 1848.  So that particular Bridget could very well be the one on death record that you found.    I can also see a Margaret Kernan (Domestic)  born 1848 but no further info on her.  I have spent many hours going through all that I can but have drawn a blank

Hi Dettori28,

Thanks for all your help and all the information.  It seems to be always the same when I try and get information on the McKernans that went to America.  It must be the way the name has been recorded. 

The wedding details are on this link but I don't think it will give you any more clues
