Thank you Heywood
As more siblings emerge in the thread I have decided to give the full listing.
According to the 1911 census Henry & Catherine had 15 children, 12 still living. 2 of the 3 dead have been identified, both Bridget, 1888 and 1890.
Of the 12 living 11 have been identified:
7/4/1885 Mary Catherine – subject of this thread
4/6/1887 Martin - known to have gone to USA
19/3/1891 Henry – m Dora King 1913 @ Manhattan. 3 children 20/6/1913 Ellen (found as Aileen and Eileen on census) 1915 Joseph. 1919 Henry who died in 1928 and was the subject of the newspaper item mentioned above
26/9/1982 Charles Francis c1912 went to Montclair (New Jersey). d 1934 Montclair. Obit in Montclair Times 24/4/1934 refers by name to his parents in Roscommon and his surviving 4 brothers and 3 sisters with helpfully their locations. It names his wife as Beatrice Egan and daughter Kathaleen (sic).
19/12/1894 Christina -in 1901 and 1911with her grand parents -under Dina in 1911.
9/4/1897 Joseph. Killed in action in France 11/12/1916
27/2/1900 Delia Died England 11/8/1969 verified by granddaughter
23/3/1902 Patrick. Went to USA. In New York 1934 from Charles obit.
28/10/1903 Dennis Edward d Roscommon 21/1/1974
21/4/1906 Herbert Coman to USA. First sibling I researched due to unusual name. Research completed.
Charles' obituary refers to his sisters by their married names. Mrs John Gray who is Delia, Mrs Thomas J Healy who is Mary and Mrs William Grimm of Brooklyn. It states that Mary is from Montclair whereas 1930 and 1940 census finds her in Manhattan. Hopefully just poor reporting.
With regard to Mrs Grimm the only known unaccounted for sister is Christina. The Montclair Times
of 9/5/1931 has a death notice of Martin J Campbell at the home of his sister Mrs William Quinn. Without proof as yet I think Grimm is wrong and should be Quinn. Martin is not mentioned in the obituary.
Sorry if this is information overload. Any information on thee Marriage and children of Mary and Mrs Grimm/Quinn much appreciated.
Regards
