Can anyone help me with information on the Davis family, formerly of Newtown, near Knock, Roscrea, Co. Tipperary, Ireland. James Davis emigrated to New York in June 1901, age 18, and the address given on the Ship's Manafest was, Louis Davis, brother living in Brooklyn, New York". James's father, James snr. passed away a couple of years earlier in 1898, tragically followed by his three brothers, Richard, Robert and John in the years 1912-1914. In September 1914, his mother Mary and sister Sarah sold the family farm and followed James and his brother to New York. They left Cobh, Co. Cork, on the 22nd September 1914 aboard the ship, 'Celtic'. The ship's Manefest stated that they were visiting Mary's son, James, at Valley Road, West Orange, New Jersey. I would like to know what happened to the family? Did James, Sarah or Louis marry and is there any relative or friend alive today? We think that it is unlikely that any member of the family returned home to Roscrea, although James paid for the erection of a headstone on the grave of his father and brothers at the small Quaker graveyard near Knock village, Roscrea.
