Looking for Thomas and Bridget McHugh in NYC in 1900 and perhaps in 1910. Also Kate and Michael Dempsey who would've been on the 1910.
Any help would be appreciated.

The 1900 Census is available for free here: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start
Any information that you have about them (ages, immigration dates, occupations, etc.) would be helpful.

Thomas and Bridget(Monaghan) married in England in 1884 and emigrated, I presume, shortly after.
Kate Dempsey, Bridget's neice, arrived in 1900 aged 22 and Michael Dempsey, Bridget's nephew, arrived in 1907 aged 22.
What I need is Bridget's place of birth. Ireland somewhere!!
Michael and Kate were both born in England.
Again thanks.

For the 1910 Census with the Powells & Michael Dempsey, Arthur and his parents are listed as born in New York. Catherine and her parents were born in England and she immigrated in 1900. Catherine & Arthur had been married for 3 years. Florence, Marion, & Essie were all born in NY. Michael and his parents were born England and he immigrated in 1907. Margaret Powell was born NY, father born NY, and mother born England.
If the McHugh family found above is the right one, there are likely draft registration cards available for the sons.
