Hi Theresa,
The following is probably some useless information.
My mother's aunt Rose Kearney (Brians) Leenankeel arrived in Boston December 1920.
The address she went to was 33 Russell Street,Charlestown. Her cousin Ellen Doherty lived there. Another two Kearneys from Leenankeel, Ellen and Catherine, (a different family) also arrived on the same day to stay at the same address with their cousin George McGaffen.
Regards

Hi,
I didn't find your Michael Doherty, however I did find Russell Street in the 1920 census. I've written down the family names so you could search for them in the 1930 in order to find Russell Street again. I searched through 5 districts before finding the closest address. Russell Street appears in several districts of Charlestown, off and on.

I didn't find 33 or 35 Russell Street. I did check the last two pages as that is where they enumerate households they missed - however I didn't find the person (or the address) you are searching, in the 1920.

Hi Theresa,
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?htx=View&r=5538&dbid=6061&iid=4311554-00417&fn=Ellen&ln=Doherty&st=r&ssrc=&pid=39285123
I was trawling through some names and US census details.(they are all free at the moment)
Here is a link to 35 Russell Street - 1920 census.
However,your man is not there and not a lot of connections to Ireland.
I found my Doherty link (Ellen) at no. 33.
