In searching for my cousin Laurence Kirwan, who was born in Dublin in 1903 and died (we think) in Philadelphia in about 1986, I wrote off to the Social Security Administration and obtained a copy of the 11/20/1936 Application for Social Security Number of Laurence Joseph Kirwan. He turns out to be the "wrong" Larry, but perhaps he "belongs" to someone else. Laurence Joseph Kirwan said that he was born 8/24/1909 at Worcester, MA, the son of John Kirwan and Catherine Coffey. In 1936, he worked at the Kennedy Co. in Worcester, and resided at 56 Uxbridge St., also in Worcester. I checked the Social Security Death Index, and found that this Laurence Kirwan died in 6/1967 in MA. By the way, my local PBS channel broadcasts an Irish show called Ballykissangel, which I find to be enjoyable (it's filmed in Wicklow). The female lead is an actress named Dervla Kirwan. Chris Kirwan
