It maybe could refer to the naturalization.  He definitely didn't come back to his home place, so perhaps he did die or move on elsewhere.  Thanks again :)

Sorry I have no middle name - did some searches but can come up with nothing. 

I was looking at your links but don't think any are a match.  The 1930 census dob matched however the immigration year was out.  Thanks for all the help tho!!  I shall have to keep digging :)

Erato - the DOB matches and there is families called the Geddis' from the place John is from.  I actually think his sister married a Geddis.

Shelly - thanks for the information.  Again the names of the people he was sharing with are popular from the town he is from in Ireland. 

I have been chasing my tail for weeks on this - wish I had of come on here sooner!  Thanks for all the information!!!

Hmm not sure.  My John McAteer was born in 1874.  My mother said he was in America for years and returned to Ireland to get married.  He was married in August 1912 in Randalstown to Margaret Ennis (Patrick's Elder sister).  This John McAteer is married in this census in America - would he have left America to get married in again in Ireland??? Tut tut if he did :)  However, McAteer is quite a common name in the area they are from.

Unfortunately, I have no information on her parents - drawing a complete blank!  Got the information of the marriage off Emerald Ancestors which unfortunately doesn't name the parents.

Hi I am searching for information on my great great Uncle, Patrick Ennis.

He was born in Randalstown Co Antrim in 1888, his parents where called Patrick Ennis and Mary McGrogan.  He was the youngest of 5 children, (siblings called Richard, Mary, Margaret and Letitia).  He was a Catholic.

On 13 June 1910 he arrived in Philadelphia Port, Pennsylvania on the Haverford Ship from Liverpool England.  He travelled with my maternal gt Grandfather John McAteer, (who returned to Ireland to get married).

Would be amazing to get information this person.  Family story is that his mother waited everyday on the postman to receive a letter from him - but never heard from him again.

Hi I am searching for my Great Grandmother and wonder if any of you have come across her?

Her name was Catherine Downing of Killyberry Downing, Co Derry.  From the 1901/1911 census I know she was born in 1866, however I can find no records of her birth. 

On 21 May 1885 she married Daniel McCann in Bellaghy RC Church in the parish of Ballyscullion.  (On her marriage cert however she was named Catherarine Downey - tho I have been informed by an uncle she was Downing).

Catherine and Daniel had 8 children - 6 boys and 2 girls - and in the census they lived in The Creagh Co Derry.

Has anyone came across her - would be amazing to find any of her siblings or her parents names!
