1901 Census, McBrides:


1911 Census, McBrides, Charles has already emigrated, Anne has married and is living with McCallions.


To dig through civil records, this will help (Clonleigh is #9, Raymoghy is #44, both middle right):

Tironeill is in Clonleigh (#80 on this map, top right):

Dooish in Raymoghy is #15, middle right:

1901 Census, McCallions:


1911 Census, McCallions:
"Francis" above is actually "Jim Francis" on the extract image (so, James).

To search Civil Records, Civil Registration District/Office is Stranorlar.

This looked like the birth of Annie/Anna:

Born May 6 1876. Father James McBride of Dooish, mother Anne McBride, formerly Meehan.

But this Anne dies, age 9 months:


Our Anne, born Nov 5th, 1879:



Charles, born January 17, 1883:


James McBride dies,  Jan 13, 1917:


Anne McBride follows shortly after, May 18, 1917:

Anne McBride McCallion emigrates April 23, 1911 with her two children, James, age two, and Joseph, age 10 months:


Her father listed as James McBride, Ballybofey, Donegal.

Note: names were crossed off like this when immigrants were retained at Ellis Island, likely due to health. They were allowed entry two weeks later.

Note: her age listed as 27, actually 32.

Her intended address in US: "Husband (?) James McCallion. 142 W 67 Street, New York"


This is James's birth cert, 1908:

Note: the family is living in Lifford, which is right outside Strabane (now across the border). Registration district for this search was Strabane.

Joseph's birth cert, 1910:

Note: the family is now living 8 Argyle Terrace, Derry Urban #2, County Derry. Have they moved to Derry/Londonderry to make the trip to the US? Why is Anne back home with McCallions for 1911 census?

Registration district for the search is Londonderry.
This is the Joseph who dies 1920s in NYC of diphtheria.


Given how much James & Anne move around above, perhaps this is him after all (August 21st, 1910):


It lists his last home as Clonmany, which is way up north Donegal. But perhaps they moved there?

This is the kicker:

His address/contact in the US will be: "Bro. in law Chas McBride. 132 West 63rd St. New York"
