McCloy
I am trying very hard to find enough info to get my Grandfathers Birth Certificate.
In fact I would like to go to where my Grandfather was born to see it and experience it and possibly meet some of my relatives.
And I would appreciate any help anyone can me in determining what facts I can about him and his family.
I am trying along with my cousin to get all this info to provide the best possible Information for a Family Tree because none of the Grandchildren know very much if anything about this side of the family. I am of full Irish descent and this part is extremely vague.
Well he has 12 Grandchildren and many are very interested in knowing more about him. His great Grandchildren are 20 in number and counting.
My Dad (John Francis McCloy) was very close to his father and unfortunately My Dad died at 31 in 1954.
I was only just 3 and his father died in 1947 at 54 years of age. So I learned very little about the McCloys or where they were from.
This is what I know, Grandpas name was the same as mine Hugh McCloy, not sure of middle name! Mine is Hugh Francis McCloy
I know that within a year or so he was born in 1893 in Derry, Ireland (probably Moyagall)
I know he had a brother John and a brother James F as well. John stayed in Ireland, James F. McCloy 40 in 1930 Census came to America(40 in 1930 Census) He married a Mary (also born in Ireland age 36 in 1930) and they had a daughter named Mary (born USA, age 11 IN 1930.
I am also fairly certain that he had a sister Margaret Mary (my mother is still alive & remembers that possibly there wasa half sister) this may or may not have been Margaret Mary). She lived in Philadelphia and was Head housekeeper)
Margaret Mary had written that she was from mayogall on her information from Ellis Island. Her age in the 1920 Census was 23 yrs of age (1888)
There may have another brother and possibly another sister.
There is also a cousin Mathilda McCloy in Philadelphia who was married to a James McMullin. She came in 1886He came over in 1893.
They signed for Hugh when he came to America 1n 1912 they were his sponsors.
And a Cousin James F. McCloy (born around 1877) who was a priest when he came here in 1893 as a Rector in a church in Pennsylvania USA. Same rectory cousin Margaret Mary worked.
Shows on 1920 US Census with his MotherEllen looks likeborn around 1856 she is 64.
Along with his cousin Margaret Mary born in 1888 (likely the same).
Downey was mentioned in family as the Maiden name of Hugh’s Mom.
There was also a remembrance of the names Tracy, Driscoll, Mc Mullin
Can someone help me at all with any information about any of these McCloys
