Deehan Family

OffalyBanagher (Offaly)

I found my ancestors baptism records from theSt. Rynagh parish years ago. Their names

Thomas Deehan

Honora Deehan nee Burk

Alicia

Kyrian

They possibly had a son Daniel, however, Daniel did not come to America.

Any info about this family would be great. Thomas was a Linen Draper.

What I'd really like help with is their immigration info. Kyrian was the sole Deehan from this nuclear family that was alive when the US census takers had the question what year did you immigrate and for 2 of those census he said 1859. He was consistent. I have been trying to find them on some passenger lists for decades new and this gal is TIRED! I have bastardized their surname and still no hits. I believe they came over all at once. I do not know if they came to the US or through Canada. I am betting they came to the US since they settled down in the Jersey City/Hoboken, NJ. Pretty much stayed in that area.

I thank you in advance for any assistance. My best to you all.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Since they came to America in 1859 and settled in Jersey City/Hoboken, they likely came thru Castle Garden. You may have already used this site https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1849782  but it may be helpful.  It may be that the records for their ship are not available. My grandmother came over to America in 1906 and I have searched for years and her record is not available.

Thank you Roger, but I have searched Castle Garden records (online only) and no luck.  At times I wonder if they were stowaways, but I am with you - the records are not available online as of yet.
