NJ Queries Forum URL: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/NJ/Hudson/12833 Subject: Whalen-Hoboken FD I have a James Whalen marrying Julia Davin (one of my collateral lines) on Dec 20 1893 at Our Lady of Grace Church in Hoboken, NJ. James was the fire commissioner of the Hoboken FD (I don't know the years he served). He was the son of Jeremiah Whalen and Catherine Dooley (spelling?). James and Julia had children: Catherine, Virginia (m. Walter Kramer), James and I think a Julia also. The witnesses at their marriage were: William Whalen and Catherine Sweeney. Any of this ring a bell with you?
