OK, here's a good guess. But you should still take a look at Edward's marriage record to be sure. There may have been two similar families in the area or I might have missed something important. And there are a few weak links in the following.

My guess is Edward Francis Ahearn, b 1921, Deerfield, is the son of Francis E and Marian (Delpha) Ahearn.

Edward's marriage announcement said he was the nephew of Mr and Mrs Patrick J Hogan of Greenfield. According to two obituaries for Patrick Hogan's daughters, his wife was Margaret Ahearn.

I didn't find Patrick Hogan and Margaret Ahearn's marriage record, although it should be there. their 1930 census said they were married about 1919.

Hogan's 1930 census: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XQGQ-2BV

In 1930, Margaret (Ahearn) Hogan was 34, so she was born about 1896.

Her birth was 23 Jan 1896, in Deerfield, Ma, daughter of James A'Hearn and Annie Shaw.

Searching for other Ahearn births in that area and time period, turned up 5 others, including a Francis E Ahearn, born 9 Dec 1897, in Deerfield

He married Marian Delpha, 16 November 1920, Greenfield.

Their 1930 household includes a son Edward E, age 9

Marian died in 14 Oct 1933, Sunderland, MA, according to findagrave.

Francis died 4 May 1973

So Edward was known in 1948 as the nephew of Patrick and Margaret because his mother died when he was 12 and he was raised by his father's sister. I don't know where his father Francis went after his wife died.

If this is your family, here is another generation - Annie Shaw's parents, on the same tombstone as her and her husband.

Are you sure Mark Gelinas died in 1993? There is a man by that name in the Social Security Death Index who died April 24, 1993, whose last residence was Boston, but he was born December 14 1956.

I have some information about another Mark Gelinas who might be the one you are looking for but I will hold onto it until I hear back from you.

A rootsweb tree says Irene Bruya and Wilfred Gelinas were married: 26 Aug 1925 in Lanesborough, Massachusetts, United States

I sent it to you as a PM just in case. There was a birth date, a re-entry of the US age 2 with his mother, an address in Springfield ( which made me think it might be the one you are looking for), and siblings' names.

Edit to add: Wilfred Gelinas only had 1 son according to the obituary that has been posted. So the Mark you are looking for would have to be his descendant. You will need to match up the mother's name on the passenger manifest to Wilfred's son, to tie things together, if Wilfred is really his grandfather. I think there were  a couple Gelinas families in the area. I found two Mark G's in western Mass, and maybe a third, who died in Boston, unless he was from Western Mass. originally.
