Joseph and Anna McCallion, RIP 1922

John found that user 'hgs205' had posted updates on the graves of Joseph and Anna McCallion on the findagrave.com site. I wrote to them, and they said the found the info on the familysearch.org site.

So, sure enough:



Anna dies July 1, Joseph dies July 2. Both are buried July 4, 1922.


John McBride (brother of Anna and Charles)

1910 US census, Wooster St, New Haven, CT:


So, John emigrates in 1900, BEFORE Charles and Anna. John's industry is 'life insurance'. Note all the lodgers in same house.

Oldest, John, is born in Ireland. Anna and Rita born in Connecticut (he emigrates after his parents?). John's industry is 'shipping clerk'.


1930 US census, Bishop St, New Haven, CT:


Even though both born in Donegal, it is marked as Northern Ireland.
