Do you know when/where James Clusker died?

Thanks for that Gins,

Does not seem to fit as I have James wife as Mary McDade b1857 in Whitburn, Linlithgowshire in Scotland

Regards,

James

The surname on that death for Mary should read McDade....and the father fits

Gins...I have to agree these are all the same family..probably the IOWA birth place for James reads Irel. on the original..the transcriptions are nearly illegible on some of the docs I have looked at.

James...Unless there are 2 families with the same named children in the same place then I think the one 1910 is correct...

Gins,

The 1881 Scotland Census about Mary McDade with father's name Dominick McDade would fit so I will follow that up.

I am also looking into the Patrick Clusker and Nellie Phillips scenario from information previously provided by Eringobragh1916.

Thank You Once Again for your assistance, appreciated.

James

Ireland, Civil Registration Deaths Index, 1864-1958
about Patrick Clusker

Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1901
Death Age: 80
Registration district: Kells
Death Country: Ireland
Volume: 2
Page: 746
FHL Film Number: 101601

Now where have I seen the place 'Kells' before?

James...Gievn that the info given on the Reg of death is only as good as those providing it then I would look at the info on James J Cusker's ...place of birth reads Kals...reckon that is "Kells" however Nellie Philps has me bamboozled..also on Catherine Cusker McLaughlins it shows "Cork" again could be a mistranscription....

James had parents as Patrick Cusker and Susan McClare...Kells 1821
Head's spinning..

Erin

James' mom was listed as Nellie Phillips

Ireland, Selections of Catholic Parish Baptisms, 1742-1881

Name: Eleanor McMahon Phillips

County: Meath and Kildare
Baptism Date: 6 Sep 1829
Father's Name: John Phillips
Mother's Name: Jane Phillips
Sponsor Witness 1: Joseph Rinsella
Sponsor Witness 2: Susan Magrath

I'm just popping this here so we can have a root around

Gins....I have followed through on the ?? Patrick (1820) and Susan McLare (1820)..well Pat.and Susan (McClare) were having children well into the 1870's..not beyond the realms of possibility for him but not her...something wrong


"As to the James Clusker saga, I have a Patrick Clusker b1821 in Kells, Co Meath in Ireland who married a Susan MacLare b1820 also in Kells, Co Meath in Ireland, but I have there son James Clusker b1856 married to a Mary McDade b1857 "
from James thread 12.07 today

Just to bamboozle matters more, it appears there was several placed named Kells in Ireland :-S

James...Thats news to me..!!

This is the John Kennedy and family who were listed on the same manifest as Philip and Cath.(1913) they eventually went out 1916....

So could this be Susan

Residents of a house 5 in Pitcher Lane (Kells, Meath)

Clusky Susan 75 Female Head of Family R Catholic

I'm still :-S over Nellie Phillips being listed on James death entry? Why wouldnt it be Susan?


Ireland, Civil Registration Deaths Index, 1864-1958
Name: Susan Clusker
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1820

Death Age: 82

Death Country: Ireland

Gins I have no idea but the Patrick and Susan (McClare) Kells Co Meath had children as late as 1877....none of the names of James Clusker and Mary McDades family follow the pattern other than a Susan and latterly a Patrick (1901)....


James the Kennedy's must have either travelled same time as Philip and Cath.or else later that year/1915 (cant find them) although it has 1916 immigration year on 1930 Census..TERESA was b 1915 Illinois.

Footy....we're away today, so its the radio for me
