Patrick Brennan;died 23rd April 1914 in New York.
« on: Friday 14 April 17 10:05 BST (UK) »
Was just wondering if anyone could help re. locating a marriage in the US,probably New York but not certain.

It concerns a Patrick Brennan whom I knew died in 1914 after emigrating to the USA but of whom I was unaware he ever married.
Found a record recently on Family Search giving the details of a Patrick Brennan(age 38) of 223 East 23rd St. who died 23rd April 1914 New York City, Richmond, New York, United States.It states his parents were Philip Brennan and Margaret Nolan.Born 10th November 1875 and that he was married.
Would be pretty certain that this person is the same one as in my tree.Correct parents,date of death same as memory card here.Only difference is birth as I have him born October 1871 from baptismal records in Dunleckney Parish Carlow.
Have had no luck re. a marriage with Irish records and the family search record has no attached image.
Was wondering if anyone could point me in any direction that might yield a record.Not really interested in pay sites as this is a distant relative and at this stage have much of my tree completed.

Thanks for reading.

If he married in New York City, there is a groom's index at www.italiangen.org.  With such a common name, it might help to find when he emigrated to narrow down the time frame and to see if there was a specific address that he was going to.  If he was in the US in 1910, it might help to find him on the census, which is available on Family Search.

It's unlikely you will find an actual NYC marriage record from that time frame online.

Thanks for that.

To be honest have no idea as to when he left Ireland.Assume it would be after 1890 or so going by his birth as being either 1871 or 1875.None of his siblings left Ireland so imagine he was 18 or so before he left.
He is not with his family on 1901 Irish Census.

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Carlow/Agha/Rathedon/1038537/

And no real possibilities elsewhere in Ireland that seem even plausible so assuming he left between 1890 or so and before 1901.
There is no record of him marrying in Ireland that I can find but of course its always a possibility he married in Dublin etc after leaving Carlow and before going to the US.

Commemorated here on family headstone;

I have to leave for a bit, but could this be Catherine and her children in 1920 (I'm not taking the time to check the details; apologies if it is for a different Brennan family).   ;)

Back for a moment:
Patrick's wife could have been named Katherine Woods.

Wow thats a lot of info so thank you.

Looking at the 1920 census see that Catherine Brennan is a widow with 3 children, Patrick, Mary and Philip.
Know that the Patrick Brennan I am looking at was the son of a Philip Brennan.His Grandfather was also Philip and he had both a nephew and grandnephew of the same name.
Can I ask how you might think he maiden name was Woods.
If this is the correct person then according to her 1920 census she was born in Ireland but has no immigration year.
Found 16 Catherine Woods on Irish 1901 census unmarried and of about the approximate age but none really stand out for any reason .Of course a whole load of Kate's,Kathys etc so may have a look when I get time.
Nothing showing up for any marriage in Ireland for  Patrick Brennan to any Catherine,Katherine,Kate etc during the relevant  period so assuming they married in US.

Regarding the New York addresses,have no idea of relative areas ,distances etc
Must look at later US census returns and see if I can find them.Catherine Mary and Patrick are very common names but Philip less so.

Thanks again as felt this was a total dead end until your info.

One of the pay sites has a social security application/claims index for Philip (Patrick's son).  Supposedly, his parents were Patrick Brennan and Katherine Woods and "this" Philip was born January 1914, New York City.

Looking at the pay site again (using different searches this time), all three children from the 1920 census have social security applications/claims indexes and the mother's name was written down as Katherine/Kate Woods.
