Missing child

[Schube424]

Looking for information on a daughter (possibly son) that was born to Daniel Delahunty and either Mary Dulanty or Sarah Sweeney in either Failsworth/Newton Heath, England, or Philadelphia, PA. She/he would have been born in one of these places I would say between 1898 and 1936, but if I had to narrow it down even further, I would say 1898 and 1910. I believe she/he would have stayed in England if born there, but I think she/he would have traveled to Philadelphia, as her father migrated there in the early 1900`s. (1912). Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you!

Spelt Delahanty

for reference Sarah J Sweeney was Sarah Jane

1901 census has Sarah J Sweeney a widow aged 39 born Brigg, Lincolnshire, England with her daughter Mary Knox aged 20 born Sheffield Yorkshire.

Sarah J Sweeney married Joseph Knox in Prestwich 1892

Daniel arrived in the US in 1912. He met his third wife Mary Dulanty there.

There's a US WWII draft reg for James Delahunty, born Manchester, living in Philly:
Name: James Delahunty
Birth Date: 22 Mar 1894
Birth Place: Manchester, England
Residence: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

you should be able to find it on FamilySearch (or Ancestry, if you have an active sub)

No, that can't be him - mother is not right:
Name: James Delahunty
Birth Date: 22 Mar 1894
Birth Place: Manchester, England
Residence: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
(findagrave)
parents are Daniel & Ann Marie Delahunty.

Could your Daniel have also been a widower, and James was a child from a first marriage?

In a different direction: there is a James J Delahunty and Mary O'Connell who had at least two children:
Florence Christina & Helen Mary (their SS applications are indexed on Ancestry - they must be deceased)

That family in 1940 (free on ancestry):

The James born March 22, 1894 is Daniels son.

In that case, Daniel marries Sarah Sweeney in 1902 - James is likely the child of Daniel's first marriage. In 1901, Daniel is a widower, and James has two sibs - one being Jane (consistent with the travel record). The other daughter, Mary, probably married and stayed in England. - could this be her marriage:
Marriages Dec 1909 (>99%)
DELAHUNTY Mary Sheffield 9c 1054

Can't find an earlier marriage record for Daniel on freeBMD - anyone else?

Schube - Not sure we've answered all your questions?

Likely birth reg for James:
Births Jun 1894 (>99%)
Delahunty James Prestwich 8d 407

Not sure where to look for a baptismal record?

[Chrissie Smiff]

I think this is Mary Delahunty in 1911, working for the Farrington family -

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=1911England&h=20357660&tid=&pid=&usePUB=true&rhSource=6598

I think she went on to marry the oldest son - John Farrington - in Sept 1913 Prestwich ref 8d 814. There are links to Mary Farrington in the 1940 United States Federal census and to the US Social Security Death Index 1935 - 2014. I haven't got world access though.

[Chrissie Smiff]

I have just realised that I have world access on FMP. Here she is travelling out on Sept 9th 1913 to Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. It gives father as Daniel Delahunty and father in law as Henry Farrington -

Possibly died in 1964 in Pennsylvania.
