Bernard McMahon and Ann Shields
« on: Monday 22 March 21 05:50 GMT (UK) »
Hello all,
Bernard McMahon married Ann Shields at St. Francis Xavier,  Manhattan, New York on 3 November 1889.  The witnesses were Bernard Riley and Mary Harkins.

I am trying to locate any children from Bernard and Ann's marriage and would like to know what became of Bernard and Ann as I have not been able to locate them on the US Census.  Thank you.

Ella.

What years of birth were Bernard and Ann  ?  To check if this is the correct couple or just coincidentally - same names ?

A birth of Michael P. McMahon - 10 October 1890 Hudson, New Jersey to Bernard McMahon and Ann Shields.

Thank you so much Sandra, very helpful.

Ann was born in Ireland in 1866, I'm afraid I don't have any information on Bernard.

A birth of Michael P. McMahon - 10 October 1890 Hudson, New Jersey to Bernard McMahon and Ann Shields.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FCP7-RMG
A Michael McMahon with this birthdate died in November 1975. His last residence was Rockaway, Morris County, NJ

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JGCP-ZZK

-------
same birthdate
registered for the WWI Draft while living at 502 West 53rd, New York City
said was born Weehawken, NJ
had a wife and 2 children

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:7D6W-C4W2

------
same birthdate
WWII Draft living at 6119 Monitor Place, Weehawken
born Weehawken October 10, 1890, wife Agnes, same address. works for the Erie Railroad

-------
1930 in Weehawken, NJ, with wife Agnes, son Bernard and others
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X4X4-FFQ

-------
1940 in Weehawken
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K4RG-Y8C

--------
son Bernard's Social Security Application says Bernard's parents were Michael McMahon and Agnes Wares

26 Apr 1912 Michael took out a marriage license to marry Agnes Wares in Manhattan (NYC)

---------
a tree on ancestry says that Bernard remarried a Bridget Smith after Annie Shields died and that this is them in 1900. Don't just go by familysearch's ages of the children. They are not correct.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M9JL-41P

---------
Could this be Annie?
Died Feb, 1892, buried Holy Name Cemetery, Jersey City, Hudson County, NJ

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/146532334/anna-mcmahon

last known child born 26 January 1892

is this the daughter?
Annie McMahon, daughter of Annie and Bernard, died in June 1892, age 0, same cemetery. - did he rename the child after his wife died?

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:7WFG-2BN2

------------
the 1900 household has a daughter Katherine born in England in 1883. not Bridget's daughter.
I haven't find Katherine's birth. I didn't find Bernard and Annie Shield's marriage in freebmd or the Irish civil records.

or maybe not. The age matches, but the plot owner is John McMahon.

People say that Bernard was in Jersey City in 1880 with his brothers, but none of the ones in the household they refer to are named John. There is a Michael (head), Thomas, Bernard, Daniel, and Patrick

A John McMahon born 1844 died in Nov 1892 in Jersey City, but he was survived by his wife Jane.

I wish the images of the cards at familysearch were online, or that they would give the plot numbers or the names of people buried in the same plot.

John is not buried in the same plot as the Anna, age 27, who died in 1892.
Here is John at findagrave
