I'm trying to find any information on Della Rossiter and her parents Patrick Rossiter and Ellen Hennessy.
Della was born circa 1868 in Wexford, Ireland. she married Daniel J. Fraher 1905 in Manhattan. On the 1910 census Della states she emigrated in 1888.
I cannot find anything for Della or her parents prior to her marriage. I would appreciate any help in trying to trace them.

Do you have anything on Daniel or Della after 1910?

Hi Shellyesq,
No, I don't but it's really any info prior to her marriage I'm looking for, whether she emigrated alone or with her parents.
I can't find Patrick or Ellen on the Irish records or in the USA.
Thank you for replying

Sometimes going forward will help you go backwards, such as if an obituary lists the names of siblings or location of surviving parents. That why I asked.
-
Sorry Shellyesq, I didn't explain myself very well. The 1910 census was the only record I could find for Della.

I also found Della's marriage record 14th May 1905 Manhattan.

On the death index on www.italiangen.org, there are Manhattan deaths for a Daniel J. Fraher on 8 Nov. 1910 who was age 48 and a Delia Fraher who died 17 Oct. 1926 at age 55. The ages might not be perfect, but they looked close, so I thought they might be possibilites.

Thanks Shelleyesq, that certainly seems to be them.
I couldn't find Delia on the Ellis Island records is here anywhere else I could check
thanks Mairead

Ellis Island wasn't open as of 1888. Some passenger lists to New York prior to that are at www.castlegarden.org.

Thank you Shellyesq but I can't access the Castlegarden site as it is "a reported attack page"

I've gotten that message when I Googled Castle Garden, but I've used it many times without issue and it seems to work fine for me when I click on the link or type in the URL.
-
I don't see any likely matches for Della on passenger lists. Maybe someone else will have better luck than me.

Hi Merry-go-Round,
It might be your browser. Might be worth trying to access the site with a different web browser.
Searched Castle Garden for Delia/Della but found nothing using Comodo Dragon Browser.
Did Delia/Della come over from Ireland with her parents? If so they might be on passenger lists.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes, rcuser

Thanks rcuser for doing a search. I don't know who Della/Delia came over with as the only information I have is from her marriage record and she states on the 1910 census that she immigrated in 1888. I have not been able to find her on the 1900 census.
regards Mairead

Hi,
Not sure if it helps but Della or Delia Rossiter is the daughter of Patrick Rossiter & Ellen Hennessey.
Also found a death record for Delia Fraher on 15th May 1949 at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, East Orange, Essex County, New Jersey, U S A.
Her husband Daniel was born in New Jersey so it's seems possible that they may have ended up there.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes, rcuser
