Martin O'Grady - US entry

We've never been able to find Martin O'Grady's Ellis Island record, not exactly sure why.

But, thanks to Aileen Gallagher for this related document:


It is not the best image, but it does say he emigrated from Liverpool on the Cedric, with last  residence being "Castelray". While I think it reads he entered US on May 10th, 1907, I can't find any match record in Ellis Island archives to match that.

Of course, this form is filled out after the fact. Martin is already living at 139 Sullivan Street.

Note on Aileen: she is descended from Winnie Gallagher of Cashelcolane. Winnie's sister Ellen marries John Regan, and their daughter Catherine marries Martin!
