« on: Saturday 14 August 10 05:51 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to establish the name of the school Mary K Duffy taught.
 
According to the 1930 US Census a Mary K Duffy aged 26 born Irish Free State, Teacher at a Catholic School Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It also stated she arrived USA 1924

I would be most grateful for any assistance in determining the name of the school.

Beat Regards

I made an error on my last correspondence.
I am not the brother born Aug. 1911 that was my father. Mary and Ellen are my 1st cousins.
I was born 1937 and adopted only in the last three years I have manage to trace my true heritage.  Finding if there is any descendants of the two cousins is the last part of the jigsaw.

Whats the best way for me to take the next step to try and verify if indeed the information we have can be followed up. Sorry I am a novice in this area and would appreciate any suggestions.

Again thank you for your wonderful support.

Hi Karenlee

Firstly thank you for your wonderful response.

You may be right because I did have info passed onto me that a Mary Kate Ballaghaderreen Roscommon born 1905/06 travelled on the Baltic to New York but no mention of arrival date.
The only Briarfield I am aware of is in Roscommon not Cork possibly there could be a recording error.
Just for the records according to the 1911 Irish census taken April Mary Kate 5, Ellen 4 they also had another sister Bridget 2 I am there brother born Aug 1911
Is there any possibility of obtaining Ellen address in Cambridge.

I am researching for descendants of my 1st cousins Mary Kate Duffy and Ellen Duffy both emigrated to the USA around mid 1920 I do know Ellen arrived New York on 20th April 1925 on the vessel La Conia no definate info regarding Mary Kate movement. they moved from the county of Roscommon, Briarfield/Ballaghaderreen Ireland. There parents names were Michael and Bridget Duffy (maiden name Hunt) I do believe the final destination for Ellen is Cambridge USA.

I would be very grateful for any assistance coming my way.

Hoping you can guide me in the right direction.
During my research I was told that all three girls moved to America, if so how can I trace when and if this is true.

Kind regards

Thank you for your wonderful response.
The three (3) names match with what I have established in my research.
It is a positive step towards concluding my research.
I am in the process of obtaining via the GRO a birth certificate which will verify Michael Duffy wife name.

Thank you
