Morgan Joseph Tully

[Lisa in California]

I've been searching for Morgan using every combination of names.  Besides the obvious, I've also tried Joe, M J, Joey, etc.  I've only searched New York state, as I am not using his last name while searching.

I don't see anything likely for a Tully, born c1905, Ireland, in any state.

I also tried Sully and Lully, born c1905.

Thanks Lisa, really grateful for you checking anyway.

I don't see him on the 1930 Census, either.  If he was married, I would think it would be likely that his wife would be buried with him, but I don't see anyone with him on the military grave locator - http://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/j2ee/servlet/NGL_v1

The WWII Military Naturalization Index gives his address as 255 W. 95th Street, New York, New York.

Are there spelling variations that you have seen with this surname? 

[daisymershum]

No, Lisa. Don't think so. Although the Irish census from 1911 has his name down incorrectly as 'Maryan' - easy mistake with the scrawly handwriting...

Hubert is also down incorrectly as 'Herbert', who incidentally fought in the Spanish Civil War.

There's also a question mark in family circles over Morgan's youngest brother, John Vincent Tully. Some people think he might have gone over from Ballinasloe/Creagh/Co. Galway to America too.

Thanks Lisa, that's brilliant. Really good to know.

Would you know if John died in New York too?

[Lisa in California]

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.

Thank you Lisa,

Very grateful again.

Is 'cath aid' one word or two? Perhaps it is an Irish word, 'cathaide' or cathaid'...maybe it has something to do with his health?
