John McElroy, died in 1959, in USA, probably New York
I am looking for any record (particularly a record of death or burial) of my maternal grandfather, John McElroy, who died in the USA (in New York, I'm told) in 1959.
He had emigrated there, leaving his wife and young family behind in Northern Ireland. He never saw them again.
He was born in Benraw/Benraugh, County Down on August 21, 1895. His parents were James McElroy and Elizabeth McEvoy.
He married Mary King of Finnis in Dromara RC Church, County Down, on August 5, 1919. He was a farmer then, as was his father Bernard McErloy. Mary's father was Hugh King, also a farmer.
If you have any knowledge or record of this John McElroy while in the USA, or could advise me on where best to look, I would be very grateful.
Best wishes,
John
