Sorry, it was two words.

Very sorry, the words might actually be for the person listed under him!!  It seems that when notes are added to the image, that they are added above the typed information.  So, the person listed under him has the notation Cath Aid.

As I was looking at the image again, it appears that as I was rushing to type, I also copied down his incorrect information!  He had a fresh complexion, dark hair and dark eyes.

It is the start of our work/school day, so before I make any other errors, I will sign off now.  (I've been trying to search/type as family members are getting ready.)  I will check back here later to see how everyone is progressing.

PS  Updated the above, while you were posting.

Oh right.

Just intrigued anyway as to what it means!!

There is a John Vincent Tully, born c1909, returning to the UK in 1938.  Port of arrival was Glasgow, Scotland.  I cannot view further details.

It says he was on the Caledonia from New York & Boston to Dublin & Glasgow.  Arrival date was 29 Apr. 1938.  Above his name, it says DEPORT, so maybe he was being deported from the US?  It says John Vincent Tully went from New York to Dublin, in 3rd class.  His address was Main Street, Ballinasloe, Co. Galway.  He was a mechanic, age 28, country of last permanent residence - USA, county of intended future permanent residence - Irish Free State.

Thank you Shelly,

Must have been deported so. Tut, tut!

Getting back to Morgan's cousin, Helena Ruddy, there is someone with the same name on a petition for naturalization.  This Helena states she was born in Clovnluane, (Galway) Ireland on January 19, 1894.

According to the above record, she immigrated February 14, 1927 on the Caronia sailing from Queenstown to New York.

In 1937, the date of the petition, she states her residence was 170 E 78 St, New York,  New York. She was single.

Her witnesses were Thomas and Mary McCoy.

Ruddys were a big family - http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Galway/Rinvyle/Cloonlooaun/452024/

Maybe there's an error there with the dates.

In a previous post, Shaun has Helena Ruddy living at an address in New York when Morgan Tully made the trip over in 1926. I think?

Perhaps she came earlier than 1927? Is she in the 1930 census? Maybe Morgan isn't in the census as he was an illegal alien and hoping to stay under the radar?

Is there any mention of him and Helen in the 1940, 1950, 1960 census records?

1930 is the latest American census.

Is the above Helena related to Morgan?

Looking back, you are correct, Morgan did travel in 1926.  Perhaps the above Helena isn't related to your family?

I cannot find Helena in New York in 1930.  However, not having an approximate date of birth makes the search a bit more difficult.
