US Lookup Requests / Re: Irish Denigan moved to Chicago was a policeman in 1930's

Hello,

My name is Keith Denigan. The man you reference is my grandfather.


Hi Keith

I have been corresponding with Barbara your cousin  :)
your grandfather Michael Denigan was the brother of my gt-grandfather Richard Denigan

There are a few Michael Denigan's arriving in the US around that time but I found one arrived on 23 May 1910 that I think may be him. It states Michael Joseph age 23 (born 1887 in Killashee) and father's name given is James Denigan.

Please message me if you want more details or to see my ancestry tree

Rachel - I think we won't be able to tie up Richard to his parents (potentially the James & Mary.A we found) until we get his birth certificate - I read on this forum earlier that you were ordering the cert - just wondered if you had done that or not?

Any other help from forum members on how to get further Irish details would be great  :)
eg. marriage details of Richards parents, birth details of his parents etc

maybe he was orphaned.
Or raised in England.
How did NY guy meet English girl?

he definately wasn't raised in England - he was American and she came over with her family (to Philadelphia) at some point within the next few years they've obviously met up and married but when she was expecting 1st child they returned to England so she could "lay in" at her parents house.

I do not understand a lot of the other details and am completely baffled by this family  ???

     You have the correct birth cert with dob 11 March 1874 for your gt. grandad - the son of John E. Rogers & Nellie F. Leown.  As you have explained the birth cert does not have the name of the child. 

Your mystery remains - where is this family of John Rogers, wife Nellie & son James in the 1880 census & any other NYC records.


MANY many thanks to the wonderful Robinbird for the great information found.

NEXT problem... finding John & Nellie and any siblings when they do not appear to be in the census

The birth cert has the address 307 W 28th St. 
Can anyone can figure out where this location is in the 1880 census - what ward of the city - what enumeration district - possible the name was not indexed correctly.

1895 and 1896 2751 Garnet has a Francis Johnson living there.

Can not find the Howard address.

I'm wondering how much truth was told on that marriage certificate.... it states wife was born in US (and her parents) and I know for a FACT they were all born in the UK  ::)

I guess you could try recontacting the Municipal Archives & make sure he's the only one that fits.  There's a volunteer on www.raogk.org who does research there, so maybe it would help to have someone who's looking for the right thing for you. 


Thanks - have sent them an email request  :)

Have tried to look for an explanation of "ralt" but cannot see anything.  Sometimes these some snippets have funny numbers or spellings in them so it may have no meaning at all.

I think a son born after 1930 (have removed his name above)  may still be living in Illinois and also the daughter born 1928.  Have possible address for the son which I will send by pm - incase you wish to persue that line.


I wondered if it was Ret.CPD as in retired CPD? Perhaps??

yes please to any contacts - thank you  :)
