Ignore the transcription which is partly incorrect and just look at original document.



There is a possible death for Joseph McDevitt  - age 68
14 May 1957 Manhattan
You would need to look at the original certificate to check, because his year of birth has varied so widely across so many documents.

Thank you everyone for help
The ship name may be incorrect but the info is taken from his 1914 New York registration certificate . Just can’t find him on a passenger record

Are you not happy with Neale1961’s work?
I think he has been found,

(The N of Numibian on that 1914 doc has an exaggerated starting stroke making it look a little like an H, but it is an N),

Thank you so so much everyone.  I have just picked up my family tree again after many years away from it. Joseph McDaid ( McDevitt) is my great great uncle- all now sorted thanks to you all.

1872 Marriage of Neal McDaid to Betty Doherty

It looks as if their first child was John mcDAID born in 1874.
It appears he was also in the USA (Tennessee) from about 1903.

From that marriage record it looks as though Neal's father was John McDaid. Naming the first son John, born 1874, follows the Irish naming pattern when the first son is named for the father's father.  When John in Tennessee has his first child this boy is named Neil. 

Anyway I am wondering if this record is the death of John McDaid father of Neal McDaid. Grandfather of Joseph and John from Tennessee.

He died the same year that Neal and Betty Doherty McDaid were married.  His death was reported by a(nother)  John McDaid.

Might be possible? to go another generation back.
