Thomas Meehan/James J Meehan
I am looking for information about my Meehan ancestry.
My grandfather was James J Meehan born April 25, 1886 in NYC. He married Catherine Buchanan in 1913/1914.
His father was Thomas Meehan, born in 1859/1860, also in NYC. His mother's first name was Christine, last name was Lehr? or Leher?(writing unclear on birth certificate, definitely starts with Le...)
Thomas' parents were James Meehan and Ellen Tynan, both born in Ireland. Ellen is listed as a widow on the 1870 census.
Thomas had several siblings listed on the 1870 census -
Mary or May DOB 1848, Lizzie DOB 1850, James DOB 1854,
William DOB 1856, Ellen DOB 1866, and Kate DOB 1868.
I believe Lizzie is Elizabeth Meehan Clark/Sullivan.
Kate is Catherine Meehan/Hettler.
Thomas and Christine both seemed to have died prior to 1910.
I believe my grandfather, James J Meehan, died in either 1934 or 1935, and am searching for his place of burial.Am also trying to find out if he had any brothers or sisters.
Any information would be very much appreciated. I must have some cousins out there somewhere.
Thanks.
