Hello Jim,
My last post related to your question about the names of William's parents on his birth certificate. I'm sorry if it caused confusion - I'm new to all this, so hope you will bear with me. I will try to make sure I say which posting I am replying to.
Back to John Neary and the 1930 US Federal Census. He is shown as having emigrated to the US in 1888 and in 1930 was living in Manhatten with his wife Annie and 3 children - Lilian, Thomas and Anna.
He also appears on earlier US Census Records: in 1900 he was living in Manhattan with Annie, Lilian, Thomas and John; in 1910 he was in New York with Annie, Thomas, Lilian, John, Mary and Anna Rita (incorrectly transcribed as Runa); and in Manhattan in 1920 with Annie, Lilian, Thomas, Mary and Anna.
Thanks again for your continued input.
