Person:Eugene McEnery (8)

Eugene McEnery was born May 1840 (according to the 1900 Census), or say 1844 (he was 55 when he arrived in New York in 1899) and was living in Newcastle West. Co. Limerick, Ire, when he arrived in the US in 1899. He may be the Eugene McEnery who traveled from New York to Queenstown, arriving on 13 April 1901.

In 1900, he was living with his daughter Bridget and son-in-law Robert Clifford at 3872 3rd. Avenue in the Bronx borough of New York City. He is an alien, and his occupation is given as salesman.

In June of 1899, Mary Shanahan, age 25, Eileen Shanahan, age 2, and Josephine Clifford, age 5, left New York aboard the Majestic, and landed at Queenstown on 29 June 1899. They returned on the Majestic, arriving in New York on 21 September 1899, bringing with them Eugene, age 55, from Newcastle west, Johanna Collins, age 30, Katie Shanahan, age 20, Mamie Clifford, age 9. They were going to join Eugene’s daughter, Mrs. Shanahan, living at 564 1st Street, Hoboken, NJ. Mamie Clifford was American-born, but she is not listed with the other three Americans on the incoming passenger manifest. Had she returned to Ireland at another time?
