Searching for information on Grandmother Margaret Agnes McMahon

[aghadowey]

Have found more information on James McMahon's family in New York but before I start cluttering up this thread with all of it wondered if a separate topic (linked to this one) on U.S. board might be better.

Thanks Aghadowey.  I have a small idea about how many people born in Ireland migrated to NYC. I spent most of the day searching records myself without much luck I'm afraid.   
I am still hoping that this Margaret Alexander and John McMahon may be the right ones.

Aghadowey - Whatever you think is better.   I don't know enough about how it all works to make an informed choice about which would be best.
I am just wondering why we are looking for James instead of John.  Not sure if I have missed a message somewhere.
Regards

John McMahon born c1848 Ireland had parents called John McMahon and Margaret Alexander. His death certificate gave address where he died as 126 Bradhurst Ave., Manhattan.

I haven't yet identified John McMahon in census records, etc. but in the 1910 census there is a James McMahon living at 126 Bradhurst Ave. I think James is a son of the John McMahon we are looking for but others might be able to find more details or rule out what I've found so far.

Will start a topic on U.S. board and post links 

Added- new topic here:
John McMahon died 1911 Manhattan- family?

Thank you very much for setting up the new query.   Lots of information on there for me to follow up. I have paid a subscription to RootsIreland for 12 months and that should give me an opportunity to do a lot more research with that and Family Search.    Hopefully I can find some link.
I didn't realise you could set up queries on different boards, in fact I didn't realise there were different boards.  Told you I was new at this.  Anyway I am learning...slowly.
Thanks again.   Trish
