Colleen, Is this possibly Patrick's family? 1920 U. S. Census - Bellaire, Pultney twp., Ohio - ED 41, pg. 181B, sheet 7B, 5 Jan. 3562 ? (street) 98-140 Pat Flannigan 55 Marr. Immig. 1885 NA 1890 IRE IRE IRE Laborer Bottle House Bridget wife 56 Marr. Immig 1881/7? NA 1890 IRE IRE IRE Wash Woman At Home Michel son 35 Marr. or Single? Immig. 1881/7? NA 1890 IRE IRE IRE Laborer Steel Mill Pat son 31 Marr. or Single? WV IRE IRE Machine Man Coal Mine Mary dau. 24 Marr. OH IRE IRE Tom son 25 Sing. OH IRE IRE Laborer Bottle Co. Margaret dau. 22 Marr. OH IRE IRE John son 17 Sing. WV IRE IRE Glass Worker Bottle House It was illegible as to whether Michel and Pat were married. There was definitely an "M" to indicate that Mary and Margaret were married. But if so, where were their husbands? And why was their name Flannigan? This Pat at age 31 is a little too old. But they are definitely in the right place. Was Sarah's maiden name Kennedy? Or was that her married name? If this is the right Pat, they weren't married as of 1920 apparently. I tried to find a Sarah with a Joseph, Leonard and Catherine. Also could not find Pat in the 1910 Ohio Miracode Index, so perhaps they were in WV then. I did not find Pat's and Sarah's marriage record in Belmont Co. Marriage books abstracted by Wes Cochran for the years 1903-1917. That is as far as the records were transcribed. Nothing in Monroe Co. either up to 1917. Have you seen the 1930 census for the boys in New York? I took a look at it. Their birthplaces were all NY with father NY and mother PA. Could have been a mistake from who ever gave the info.
