Daniel was in Brooklyn. In 1915, he was a baker with his brother, James, in Lowell, MA. By 1916 he was gone and found his way to Brooklyn, where it appears that his sister, Mary McMahon, was living. They also had a brother named Michael McMahon, but I don't know if he ended up in New York or not. James F. McMahon had two wives die young, and by 1920, he was a widower living in Lowell, MA. The 1922/23 city directory for Lowell says that James moved to New York, New York. I know his brother, Daniel, was in Brooklyn. I'm just trying to find James in New York after 1922. I am waiting to get copies of three death records: 1. Daniel McMahon: died Mar. 5, 1948 in Kings County, N.Y. at age 58 yrs., born ca. 1890. 2. James F. McMahon: died March 28, 1938 in Kings County at age 58 yrs., born ca. 1880. 3. Daniel McMahon: born Apr. 10, 1889; d. Aug., 1966; last residence was Brooklyn, Kings, N.Y. I have been unable to locate James F. McMahon yet in NYC using city directories and the 1930 census. His daughter, Mary McMahon, married William Devaney in ca. 1927, according to census records. In the 1930 census, they were living at 32 McDonough Sterrt in Brooklyn, Kings , N.Y. Mary was born Sept. 28, 1908, daughter of James F. McMahon, and Delia Neylon, both of County Clare, Ireland. They were living in Hicksville, Nassau, N.Y. when Mary died in Sept., 1968. Siblings of Mary E. ( McMahon ) Devaney were: James J. ( b.c. 1905 ), John T. ( b.c. 1907 ), Margaret ( b.c. 1911 ), and Joseph ( b. 1915 ). I assume that James F. McMahon took all of his children to New York, New York, when he sold his house and bakery business and moved from Lowell, MA., where his children were born, to NYC. I am trying to find James F. McMahon in Brooklyn or the NYC area, or as a long shot, Long Island in N.Y. I am searching for him in the 1930 census, but so far have been unable to locate him and his children there. Any help would be very much appreciated. One further thing..I found the parents of James F. McMahon in the 1901 census in Miltown Malbay, County Clare, Ireland, and Catherine Kelley was born ca. 1858. The siblings of James F. McMahon in that census were: Michael ( b.c. 1882 ), Margaret ( b.c. 1884 ), Mary ( b.c. 1886 ), Daniel ( b.c. 1888 ), Susan ( b.c. 1892 ), Bridget ( b.c. 1896 ), and Thomas ( b.c. 1900 ): all children of Daniel McMahon ( b.c. 1848 ) and Catherine ( Kelley ) ( b.c. 1858 ). Daniel was a baker by profession. Jean Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
