Henry Colgan arrived  New York 11 April 1910 and states his final destination was Philadelphia

Lizzie arrived New York 14 August 1906 stated she was going to her Uncle Henry Colgan at (3830?) North Fairhill Street Philadelphia.

1910 Census Fairhill Street Philadelphia

Henry Colgan 31 boarder born Ireland employed Philadelphia Bug Company
Henry Colgan 18 boarder born Ireland, emigrated 1910  same employer


They are boarding with Patrick Donahue

[amondg]

1908 and 1909 city directory of Philadelphia

Henry Colgan is at 3030 Fairhill Street.
1908 as a labourer, 1909 as a driver.

This would be the Uncle Henry mentioned in Lizzie's destination

[amondg]

1910 census Philadelphia, Erie Avenue.

Household of William McGlinn
Lizzie Colgan 22 servant emigrated 1907

also in the house is Margaret Rice 23 servant born Ireland emigrated 1908


In 1912 Henry Colgan marries a Margaret Rice, which Henry the brother or the Uncle we need the marriage certificate to find out, or maybe find them in the 1920 census.
