Thank you again for the assistance.
We all have our own way of doing things. However the point as to links is well made.

I spent four hours last night with a man who is not computer literate. He was illegitimate and reared in a Home where he was not treated very well. Most of the information which he was given about himself was not correct. He subsequently discovered that he had half siblings.

His Mother was Mary Anne Flood a child of Stephen Flood and Susan Flynn.
I cannot explain why she was reared by a different family in Derry:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002839464/

A possible explanation on the two families:

William and Mary Anne of Breffni Terrace
Mary Anne the Mother and Susan the child died in 1886 and are not those whom I am seeking.

William and Mary Anne of College Street
John Joseph born in 1881, Susan born in 1883 and it was she who married Stephen Flood.

So...you are happy that there are 2 different families!

Do you know where Susan was in 1911? She doesn't seem to be on Census.

The Child is described as Niece on Census.... Is this correct??

Looking at the original census page Stephen's age might be a poorly written 50 rather than 30.

William and Mary Anne of College Street
John Joseph born in 1881, Susan born in 1883 and it was she who married Stephen Flood.

I am not convinced that these are two different families. I don’t know why both children are called Susan but:
they are both daughters of William Flynn and MaryAnn Smith.
William is a Tailor in all records.

1881 College Street. (John Joseph)
1883 place of birth Curlurgan father’s address College Street (Susan)
1885 place of birth Curlurgan father’s address Breffni (Susan)
1886 deaths of Mary Ann and Susan address Breffni

I can’t see a civil record for the marriage of William Flynn and Mary Ann Smith. I was hoping for addresses.
Here is the very feint parish record which offers little help - 1878 number 227
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634811#page/52/mode/1up


1890 place of birth College Street son Patrick mother Ann Brady
I can’t see a Flynn /Brady marriage.

I accept that there is a different address but I wonder if one was a shop or something whilst the other was home   :-\

It appears that Susan Flynn gave birth to her child in New York brought her home, left her with a family in Derry.
The child was renamed Mary Anne after the woman who reared her, unlikely there was any blood relationship.
The elderly "father" taking no part with respect to the child.

Susan Flynn going back to New York and working as a servant in 1920.

Why was the child not brought back to the family in Cavan?

It is an open question as to whether there were two such families in Cavan.
