Individual Details
Martin Joseph MONAHAN
(15 Apr 1898 - )
According to the notes of his grandnephew Brent, Martin was born on April 15, 1901. However, according to the 1901 census, Martin was two years old on March 31, 1901. The ages given on the census return for the rest of the children (except for Harriet who wasn't yet born) tie in with the dates of birth provided by Brent.
Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) records show that a Martin J. Monahan, who was born in 1898 in Co. Wexford, enlisted in the the force in 1920. This may be our Martin.
If it was our Martin who joined the RIC in 1920 then he did not stay very long as Ellis Island records show that our Martin arrived in New York on 22 May 1922, aged 23 and single, having sailed on the 'Adriatic' from Liverpool. According to the ship manifest, he was a labourer and was joining his brother Patrick who lived at 989 Amsterdam Avenue in New York. At the time of his first marriage in 1927 he was working as a chauffeur, and by the time of his second marriage in 1956 he was a "maintenance supervisor (bank offices)".
Note: There is a record in the Social Security Death Index for a Martin Monahan who was born on 25th February 1899. This has been checked out but it is NOT our Martin.
