My great aunt Sarah Jane McQuade/McQuaid was born on 15 March 1868 in Jarrow, though she took off 8 years ie dob 1874 on her death.
She emigrated to the US and married Thomas Donnelly in Boston. Thomas died in 1922 but Sarah Jane died on 10 Jun 1949 (have seen her grave and obituary notice).
.........................................
Now this is the confusion bit
Found a link to U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007
Name -Sarah Jane Donnelly
Gender - Female
Race -White
Birth Date -15 Mar 1880
Birth Place - Jarro Wotyne, United Kingdom
Father -Francis McQuaid
Mother - Bridget Shanahan
SSN 012229979
Notes
Sep 1943: Name listed as SARAH JANE DONNELLY
Household Members
Name
Age
Bridget Shanahan
Francis McQuaid
Sarah Jane Donnelly
.................................................. .....................................
Can't see a Sarah Jane McQuaid/McQuade born in Jarrow in 1880
According to my records my great aunts parents were Francis McQuade and Bridget Sands (who said she was from Cork in 1901 census but haven't found a Sands catholic family there).
I haven't found a marriage for Sarah's parents but there is one for
Francis McQuade and Bridget Sanahan on 30 May 1858 in
Desertcreight, Derry and Tyrone, Ireland (Parish Variants
Cookstown).
.................................................. .............
Now there's several discrepancies
date of birth 1868 or 1880 (day and month the same)
date of death 1943 or 1949 (if that is what this US SS entry is about)
surname of Sarah's mother - Sands or Shanahan/Sanahan
Am wondering if Sands is the right surname for Bridget and whether the marriage is the right one for my Francis.
Also what is the 1943 about? lol
