Daniel Sexton

[GeoffP]

Hi,

I would like to find some census details of Daniel Sexton. He was born in Cork about 1860-1870. His wife was Hannah Daly.

I have an Ellis Island record which gives

Hannah Sexton aged 31
Julia Sexton aged 5
Timothy Sexton aged 10m

Arrived in New York Oct 2 1912
It notes her husband to be Daniel Sexton 218 Monroe St NYC and Us citizenship Superior Court NY Oct 24 1894

I am sure that this passenger record is correct as the sister of Hannah was named Julia (my grandmother) and her father was named Timothy. Presumably Hannah went home for the birth of Timothy.

I would like to know when Daniel emigrated from Timoleague Cork and to find out any family details from the census records.

I have a ref in an old letter that Daniel died in about 1918.

Any help would be much appreciated.

A very happy new year to all

                                      Regards
                                                  Geoff

Hi Tazzie,

That is really very helpful.  I did not know that there were 6 children. Widow at
39 years, life was really tough. Sorry to ask for more but can you see Hannah on 1930 Census. In the letter I referred to she was living at Woodhaven NY in 1931.

Later I will try searching for the children. Maybe I have new cousins!!

Have a great evening. Best wishes

If you check the death index at italiangen.org, there are two Daniel Sextons who died in Manhattan between 1910 & 1920.  One died 16 Jan 1912 at age 49, and the other died 17 Oct 1918 at age 47.  Perhaps one is yours.
