US Lookup Requests / Re: naturalisation record look up
« on: Tuesday 28 July 09 22:55 BST (UK)  »
Yes-the age has me baffled.   ::)    I've checked the info on the Ellis Is site and it all matches (except for his age) -he's coming from his brother Ed McLaughlin and he gives the correct address Kennaught St, Limavady, Co Derry. He's going to his other brother, John  in Phil, PA. The address isn't clear. From the record he has been in the US before-in 1907 but I haven't found that record.

Hi Lisa  :) If you are born in Northern Ireland which is part of Great Britain you are officially considered to be British (or English) but some people prefer to be classed as Irish as they live on the island of Ireland. Confusing, I know! Thanks for your help-I really appreciate it.

I have the records of their births- def 1882 for Daniel. And 1884 for John. The ages could have been reversed.  The surname is McLaughlin (my mother's maiden name so no mistaking it!) -it could have been mis spelt but def not Coughlin/Coughlan. I feel they would have given their nationality as Irish and not English but I'm only surmising here! I wonder where their mother, Bessie was as I'm sure she was alive till at least 1920.

Hi Lisa (and Cheryl too)
  Thanks for your help. Elizabeth (Bessie)  McLaughlin(nee O'Kane) was born April 6,1862 in Limavady, Co Derry, Ireland. Widowed 1887.  Her son Daniel was born June 6,1882 Co Derry, Ireland.  Second son John was born March 30,1884, Co Derry, Ireland.  She had 2 more children both born in Ireland before she was widowed.  She emigrated to the US-to Philadelphia we think. I found a record for Dan on the Ellis Island site for May 18,1908 and for John Nov 19,1907. Both on the SS california.
  I haven't been able to find them on the census records or any other records. I know she never returned to Ireland altho' she expressed an interest to come "home". She and her two sons remained in the US while her other two children remained in Ireland.
  Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Ohio Susan,
  Apologies for not replying sooner-I am in Ireland and there's a wee bit of a time difference!

 Thanks for the record but unfortunately it's not my Daniel  :( My Daniel was born 6.6.1882 in the townland of Carran, Limavady, Co Derry, N Ireland. I have a date for his naturalisation on June 16, 1914 in Phil,PA-I found this on the Ellis Island site on a passenger record. I am trying to get any info on him and his brother, John in Philadelphia and their mother, Bessie. I have hit many brick walls! But I have a very hard head so I'll keep trying. Everyone on this site has been so willing to help.

Thanks Shellyesq,
  Unfortunately it's not my g grandmother as she was from the north of Ireland and not the Irish Free State. And she was a widow.  Just have to keep looking. Thank you again for looking it up for me.

Hi,
  Could anyone look up a Bessie McLaughlin in the 1930 census for Manhattan, New York? She is age 69, born abt 1861. Birthplace Ireland.   I found the  record but am trying to see if there is any more info on the original to see if it is my g grandmother.   Thanks in anticipation!
