Dollard
Michael joseph dollard father William, Michael was a fireman/ stoker seaman, his d.o.b varied from each voyage between 1856/59 birthplace Dublin, he married in 1880 inLiverpool to Elizabeth Dixon and had 3 children wife and children all deceased by 1892. Father William named as pensioner on marriage certificate. Married 1894 maryann melia, Father down as deceased on this certificate. 2 children 1st died at 18 mths, 2nd survived (my mother) Mary Ann Died 1904, my mother lived with ??? relatives of a shipmate of her father, so didn't know any history. Michael left Southampton on SS Teutonic for voyage to New York, the story is that he became ill en route was hospitalised in NY. and died. That he died was true as his dependant child was awarded "outdoor relief " from the seamen's orphanage fund. I have searched captains ships records, no trace also New York burials no trace. I found a John dollard ,grocer on 1881 Liverpool census along with daughter Maria b 1860 Kilkenny there must be a relationship as Maria is a sponsor on a relatives baptism. John doesn't appear on any further census and there arent any UK death records. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've exhausted all avenues thanks.
