Title: Daniel Doody and Johanna Keane in Chicago 1893 - 1899
Post by: kentishgal on Friday 22 April 16 19:34 BST (UK)

Hi all
I am looking for evidence of my maternal great grandparents in Chicago Illinois. I cannot find evidence of their journey to the US from Ireland. (I have evidence of their return in 1899.) Also looking for evidence of their 3 children born in Chicago Catherine 1894, Elizabeth and Norah. (The daughters returned to the US - New York _ in the 1920s)
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,

Welcome to Rootschat  :)

On Family Search there is Catherine Doody's marriage record 19 Oct 1919, Manhattan, New York to    Frank H. Barber. Her birthplace is recorded as Chicago, Ill. (1894).

Also on Family Search Nora's death record (18 Jul 1928) has her birthplace as Ill.

There is a Dan(ie)l Doody age 28 leaving on 6th September 1891 from the port of Queenstown, Ireland for New York on the Umbria.  (Showing on Ancestry)

How many years married does the 1911 census have them, and if it does not fit with that marriage found, have you got an alternative one?

Yes this looks like the family also in the 1901 census in Ireland

There is a Johanna Kane travelling on the 20th April 1891 from Queenstown to New York on the Chicago, as a servant, age not specified, ticket number 8208.
 
Immediately below her on the list are Mary and Bgt Keane, ages not specified, also servants, but different ticket number (8209) so possibly different surname and not related.

If Johanna Kane was born in Castlegregory in 1866 with parents Patrick Kane and Johanna (Callaghan), then does not appear to have a sister Mary but there is one called Bridget in 1880.
