[I know the 1837 English rego districts (nearly ?) always coincided with the 1837 poor-law unions, so probably this was the case in Ireland, too]

Tricia, where does Harold Mechin (Meehan?) fit in? On the 1940 census he's listed as Mary Haight's son but on the 1930 census he's listed as Willis S Haight's nephew?

On the 1930 Mary is 47 and states she was first married at age 35, so circa 1918.

Listed as Haight, a son - but I can't check image. Maybe he was adopted.

I cannot find this family people other than whats been listed..
1940 also shows Mary has a son John O'Neill b Ireland...
The 1940 Census Ann (09.06) has shown with Willis Haight aged 77 does not show family..but 2 lines above is a Mary O'Neill....!!

The 1914 Immigration for a Mary Ann O'Niell..she was b NY 1897..!
Terribly confusing.

Maryann had a son born in Tyrone john O'neill he finally went over to New York also by age of 36 to join his mother.. She often visited him in Tyrone going back n forth on the ships but he wouldn't leave Maryanns parents who reared him TIL they passed away.
Maryann was joined by her brothers hugh and john O'Neill .. John finally came back to Tyrone with his Tyrone born wife to settle down .. Hugh stayed on he was a widower with three children though children stayed in Tyrone reared by his parents also ..hugh was a barman in the Bronx .. They all lived at 53 w 105th Manhattan

Harold mecham is her nephew i believe even though one census says her son and another her nephew .. It states his mother was from Ireland but I have all of Maryanns siblings names and who they married so not sure how he fits in as her husband willis haight seems to have no irish blood connrctions himself .

Maryann is my Grannys sister they were all O'Neills from Tyrone

Erin that Mary oneill is from dublin not same one

Maryann O'Neill was born in Tyrone in 1884 .. My granny's sister .. My granny Brigid was first born year earlier

Willis Haight born 1863 New York .. They married around 1910 I believe

There are a few Willis heights around that time but his DOB is 1863

This is correct info

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KQ5X-G21

Immigration link for Maryann in 1914 is not correct .. Unfortunately Maryann oneill is quite a common name in Ireland.. Oneills are in abundance up and down the country and Mary or Maryann is most common name in Ireland

Mgnv that 1880 census may be spot on thanx hadn't seen that one before .. It gives me Willis possible parents and siblings

https://archive.org/stream/10thcensus0818unit#page/n397/mode/1up

But there are two willis haights .. One born 1865 and one born 1863 both New York .. Latter is my one ..

Possibly Willis mother could be Ruth L Haight .. Il keep both options open for now
