Not such good luck after all. The Halligans came back again 11 July 1915 on the SS Philadelphia. New York - Liverpool. Intended destination:- Ballinlan. Shiverill. County Kilkenny.
Plus one extra Joseph Halligan age 1  :(

The 20 Sept 1909 passenger list on the SS Celtic  for Michael Halligan states he was a mariner so perhaps he never stayed in anyone place, especially if the family returned to Ireland.  ???

 :)HI Dettori,

Thanks so much for all your help.  You have the correct family.  John Halligan travelled to the US in 1909 alone, his family stayed in Scotch Quay, Waterford (they are there for the 1911 census) Mary & 3 children travelled to the US to join Micheal in 1914 as you have found.  I was really interested to find out how long they actually stayed in the US, as I kow they were back in Ireland in 1917 & was delighted to find that out.  Can you confirm that both Micheal & Mary travelled back to Ireland in July1915 with their 4 children.
In the 1909 Ellis Island records (19th Sept 1909 on the Celtic) for Micheal Halligan it records that he was in the US previously in 1909 in New York.  I have failed to find a record of his first entry.  Have you any suggestions as to how I could follow this up?

Micheal calls himself a 'mariner' but his marriage cert from 1907 records hm as a 'shipwright' and other later documentation from 1930s states he is a 'ships carpenter'. The address that Mary Halligan gave on arival was that of her Micheal, her husband, as 288, Rector St., Perth Amboy.  I have tried to follow this p, it appears to be on the harbour, so I presume there would have been work for a ships carpenter.
As for Patrick Phelan (Micheals uncle), I know his father was Micheal Phelan from Shambough, Co Kilkenny & he had a sister Anasatsia. 

Thanks again for all your help, Moinear

Hi Moinear.

That entry for 1915 only showed Mary and the children with the extra one Joseph.
Will have another look to see if I see him earlier than the 20 Sept 1909  ;D

Hi Dettori,

I don't know if Micheal had a sister named Kate.  The Ellis island record from 1909 stated that it was 1909 that he was previously in New York.

Is it possible to find when exactly Micheal Halligan returned to Ireland.

The father of Anastasia & Patrick was Micheal Phelan from Shambough, Co Kilkenny.

I've been going through all the Michael Halligan passenger records but have'nt found anything concrete.
I found an Anastaia in the USA and a Patrick but they obviously belonged to the couple I mentioned, Kate would also belong to them, cooincidence they all lived in Kilkenny.
Don't know what to suggest now.  ???
