Francis of New Haven and NY(1880-1967)
Trying to track down origin in Ireland and career in US of Francis Mahoney who allegedly came to US with his mother in 1882 or so, after reported birth in Ireland 10/10/1880.Subsequently made a career in New York as educator (superintendant of night schools in public school system at one point) while raising a family in New Haven, CT (69 Stanley Street).His father's name was probably Patrick, mother's name Mary Breen.She may have married a Foley, a second husband, in NYC upon settling in the U.S. with young Francis.
I am grandson.My late mother had only a murky understanding of her father's background and career in NYC. Thanks!
