Hi Sandra he was born in Birkenhead, Cheshire UK. His father was Patrick Casey not too sure why he went to USA but was living with his aunt according to couple of census'of philadelphia can't rightly remember the street address but do methinks like Ventnor or Vertner street. Does this help?

That looks right but still don't really know what happened to him how can I find out more?
-
His sister Mary? living with Uncle Elwood Garlick.
1910 census: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MG7F-VDC
-
Obviously moves on because he is not with the Garlick family in 1930
Was E Venango Street
Sandra

Wonder if he got married or went back home to UK?
-
The ship's records for his arrival in 1919, I think indicate this move was permanent if I'm reading it right. but plans do change!
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J6WM-52G
He is on line 11:

Thank you so much for your prompt reply and research is there any way of finding out if he married, had family etc and when and where he died?
Have also tried your trace his fathere Patrick and sister Mary to see what became of them all but had limited success!

There is a manifest marking above Michael on the passenger list - it could be 23 - if that was correct - he may have been naturalized in Los Angeles.
Possible or a long shot ??? - 1930 Census Kerckhoff Los Angeles - 1930

Good morning Sandra I think the info on Michael's sister Mary is correct as I have a Masgai in my ancestry tree so that fits, I will need to find out more about Michaels wife as I got a bit confused yesterday with all the info you managed to uncover. I am indebted to you for all your hard work many many thanks, Maureen.

Glad to help ;)
