Help with New York Mystery.

Very! I  will ask  - Sandra you deserve a special thanks for all this! I do hope he married and had lots of Children.

How long does an NYC cert take to arrive - says 4/5 weeks on the site....?

Heywood, if you are looking in, I am in search of the Mountain and Bush element, who are  living with John and Eleanor, Thomas and Alexander in Bridge St in the 1911.

Hi to you both- yes I am looking in and finding it so very interesting!

A few years ago, together with a lady in USA, I did something similar to this collecting Goldens who emigrated from North Mayo to Scranton and area. Then it became addictive and extended to others from that particular area (north of Killala). There was always someone from the area going to another local family.

Back to yours- it is fascinating - thank you!

I looked for the Mountains and the Brushes  but they are hiding. According to 1901 Irish census, Mr Mountain is Swedish.
No Brush names in Mayo in 1901 and no-one called Brush born Mayo in 1911 except the children. As you mention family names, Eleanor Brush is perhaps on the Carden side.

Hi Sandra and Heywood,

That sound very interesting, Heywood, and I have found the same pattern here too - there seem to be a lot of Boyd's in the US at this time. I am also wondering how Mr. George Mountain, Sweedish tailor ended up married in Ballina   to Thomas' aunt!  Sandra, is there any way of working out when the Dominion arrived in America in 1911. I can see from the Manifest it appears to have left Liverpool on 4th October? It is too faint to read. AB

Sorry, Sandra I see you have posted arrival date of 15h Oct on the other thread!

Not sure where you're getting the image posted in Reply 40? For Mrs Kane's address?

The "PO" may actually be PQ....Province of Quebec....especially as there seems to be a Montreal connection.

Cheers,

Its a Philadelphia Passenger List for a Thomas Boyd. Born 1884 Ballina. Ireland sailing on the Dominion arriving 15th October 1911 Philadelphia.

Okay....didn't see there was a second page.

But I can't think of, or find, a Quebec place name that looks anything like what's written. So a red herring, probably.

But I also can't find any Charles Brennan in the Montreal directory for 1910, 1911, 1912, or 1913. Also, the resident at 981 Tupper is a J Swan.

Could have a boarder, I suppose.

Cheers,
