Hi,
My father Michael Nevin was born in Corbo Kilroosky Roscommon in 1913. My father came to the US when he was 17. His mother died when he was 3 and his father when he was 11. His parents were Thomas Nevin born around May, 1862 and Ellen Gilleran born January 1, 1874. I researched and found his father Thomas Nevin on the 1900 New York census with his first wife Winifred Benson. After the birth of four of my father’s siblings, Winifred died in 1905. Thomas returned to Ireland and married Ellen Gilleran on April19, 1909 and they started a family. I found them on the 1911 Irish census. Ellen Gilleran died in childbirth in 1916. Since my father was very young, he didn’t know much about his mother and father’s ancestors. My father died in 1983. He actually went back to Roscommon in 1982 and put a headstone marking the Nevin name in Derrane Cemetary to honor his Nevin ancestors.
That is why I am here. I have found some information on the Gilleran side but nothing on Thomas Nevin’s side. From his first marriage in New York on August 10, 1893 it says his father was also Thomas Nevin and his mother was Ellen Schrows, but I believe Schrows is incorrect as on the 1900 census he says both his parents were from Ireland and Schrows I believe is not an Irish name.
Any help finding who Thomas Nevin parents were. Did he have any siblings too.
Thank you.
