James J. Coleman, 1862-1934
« on: Thursday 19 May 11 13:26 BST (UK) »
James J. Coleman was my Great Grandfather – born in Ireland June 1862, reportedly in Mayo.  Is said to have immigrated with his Mother Bridget about 1872 and they settled in the coal mine region of Avoca, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.  He died Feb 9, 1934.  I’d be grateful if anyone can provide information or guidance on his hometown, parents or siblings.  Thanks.

James, I have came accross the surname Coleman many times on Mayo sites and in GV (Griffith Valuation 1856 Mayo) and in the Tithes (Established church C.O.I, kind of taxes that every denomination had to pay and the landowner and the local Vicar split the proceeds between them (according to Samuel Lewis's survey of Ireland anyway). Cheers
