Susan Mary Flynn

[heywood]

Does your friend know that Susan returned to NY?

Do you have immigration records for her?

Susan Flynn in 1920 census is a married woman but not Flood.
The census information shows that her year of immigration was 1899 and she was naturalised in 1916, I think.
She would have to return to Cavan to marry and then go back to have  her child.
All this is possible but you would need further evidence to be sure.

It does seem a very sad situation. In 1901, her brother John was with a Smyth family - perhaps relatives and in 1911 was married so there were relatives around if Mr Flood and family did not want to support her.

Things aren't just adding up here and I think some of the details found aren't quite accurate which is adding to the confusion.

Ella Flood 'born 1 May 1907' registered as born in Manhattan-

Susan Flynn (housewife, age 22) and infant Ellen (aged 3 weeks? months?) arrived in Queenstown, Ireland on 19 May 1907 from N.Y. according to the passenger list.

In Oct.1928 a Susan Flood, age 28, waitress went to N.Y. giving her U.K address as Redhills P.O. Co Cavan (last residence U.S.A.).
However, there's a death of a Susan Flood, age 40, died 1923 in Cavan-

Just to add to my last post,
John Flynn was living just a few houses away from his father William in 1911 and also Stephen Flood.
It just makes it very sad.

Apologies re Susan and Ellen’s return. I mistakenly wrote Liverpool 
As aghadowey points out it was Queenstown.

Re October 1928 - possibility here - Susana Flood Drumavaddy, Redhill

The death in 1923 is Susan Flood, Spinster
1911 shows a Susan Flood, 28 yrs in Drumcarn - maybe

There is also a death  in 1911 for Susan Flood, wife of a labourer,  ‘of Derry’ who died in hospital aged 23 yrs but can’t see her in 1911.

I have now spoken to B and he tells me that his mother told him that she was born in America and brought home. He did not believe her as he felt that he has been told lies all his life.

He says he is now on Cloud 9 and very happy.

He also said that he was told that her father was killed in a motor accident and that her parents were buried in a graveyard in Cavan where the grave could be seen from walking along the road.

That is so good that he has some confirmed news of his mother’s early life.
