HI Advent,

Have you got an exact birth date for Nora that may help your search ?

Looks like 4 sisters all travelling together on a Boston 1912 passenger list.

Nora Cushen. Born about 1896 Alleyeis. Ireland and aged 16 years.
Arriving Massachusetts 10 April 1912 on the Franconia
Going to sister Annie Cushen, 49 Pleasant Street. Brookline. Massachusetts.
Also travelling Alice aged 22 years, Margaret 18 years, and Charlotte 11 years.
Manifest markings could indicate that Margaret was naturalized 22 August 1940 - 1 - 297994  (Area 1 could cover Boston. MA)

IF Sister Anne was Annie Mary Cushen born 1884 Abbeyleid, Ireland.

Could this be Annie ?

Travelling Liverpool to Boston. Massachusetts on the Saxonia, arriving 10th June 1909. Nearest relative in country from whence came was Mrs Cushen. Main Street. Abbeylais. Going to Aunt Mrs Quinn, 10 Keith Street. Watertown. Massachusetts.

This could be the Annie that arrives in 1909 (with a Katy Cushen - there are manifest markings on the entry for Katie - 1 - 293995 - could be June 13 th 1940 but not sure the year is a little blob !! - the Aunt is Annie Quinn.)

This looks like a possible death record for Annie:  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/J6S6-6H9  Perhaps if there was an obituary for her, it would give information on her siblings.

thank you so much for your notice of death of annie mary cushen. this is of great interest to me. i have been given this info with this date of death by a convent in san antonio just recently. this deceased(annie mary) was a nun there along with her two sisters namely margaret(aka) Sister cushen died texas 7th nov 1982 also another sister Sister evelyn cushen died texas 27th nov 1988 it was my belief that thay were my fathers aunts who left abbeyleix between 1909 and april 1912 but as their father was named charles and their mother margaret(formly quinn) this would indicate to me that i am on the wrong track judging from details of the death cert that you have sent me and which i appreciate so much i would need to get death details of margaret and evelyn to see how they compare with annie mary again many thanks
