Deaths Jun 1962
DEAN Joseph A 70 Leeds 2c 398

well wouldn't that take the cake :-)

there wasn't another Joseph A Dean born 1890-1894 anywhere in the vicinity

No, I thought there might be several births, but unless by complete coincidence someone moved into the area, it definitely looks a strong possibility.

This one looks like the above death: (wrong middle name!)

Dea x

ah, Abraham Joseph Dean in the 1911 in Horsforth in Wharfedale reg dist maybe?

must be

Births Dec 1891
Dean Abraham Joseph Wharfedale 9a 124

in June Q 1962 he would have been 70 1/2

Annoying man, changing the order of his names....

that's men for you :-D

Isn't Joseph Abraham a different person? Here he is in 1901 with parents Sarah and John.

he is a different person, that's the point :-)

the death in 1962 is very likely Abraham Joseph and not Joseph Ambrose


but Tenerife Sun you have just tossed yet another different Joseph into the pot

the one in that 1901 census is older, he is almost certainly this one

Births Mar 1888
DEAN Joseph Appleyard Bramley 9b 385

Not sure if already added, but on Philadelphia arrival, 1912 he is going to Aunt, Mrs. E O'Connor 2010 Sansom Street Phila


(although already added, but on below, he is Joseph Dear)

Chris :)

thanks Chris, I was kind of stupid

I posted the link to the image of the passenger record

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-21580-47040-80?cc=1921481

... and didn't realize that if you click to go to the next page

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-21580-45753-81?cc=1921481

... it gives you those details :-)

Thank you all for the information. Sorry I have not been back sooner but unfortunately I have not been well today.

I found the US 1910 census on familysearch and it had
Charles Tasker
Mary Tasker 1877 Wife
Agnes Murphy 1891 Sister in law
Katherine Murphy 1879 Sister in law

This points to Mary his wife being a Murphy

My Gt Grandmother was Kate Murphy who married John Dean
in 1869 in Ballina Ireland . They then came to England and all their children were born in Leeds
Joseph Ambrose Dean was my Gt Uncle but I had never heard any mention of him.

Thanks again
Barbara

here we are Barbara, I think this is Mary Murphy Perry Tasker's first marriage

and just for completeness, this is the flip side of the Tasker-Perry marriage I posted earlier (realizing now that each spouse's record has to be found to see the two full names, for PA marriages)

here is a Catherine Murphy born in Mayo c1879 in Liverpool in 1901

Name: Catherine Murphy
Age: 22
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1879
Relation to Head: Daughter
Gender: Female
Father: John Murphy
Mother: Mary Murphy
Birth Place: Mayo, Ireland
Civil Parish: Walton on the Hill
Town: Liverpool
County/Island: Lancashire
Registration district: West Derby

John Murphy 60 c1851 Mayo
Mary Murphy 60
Catherine Murphy 22
Annie Murphy 20
John Murphy 30


Joseph's mother Catherine Murphy Dean was born c1858

do you know anything about who her siblings were?


btw numerous Catherine Murphys (to use only that spelling) married in Philadelphia in the 1920s and 1930s and the records available at familysearch give no info that could identify them

Joonie- Catherine's sibling's Bessie and Ned; baptisms posted earlier in thread.

uurrrr ... I went up and down the thread looking for the baptisms I thought you had posted and I couldn't see them!

so no sister Catherine ... that we know of ...


and now who is aunt E O'Connor ?? maybe on the Dean side ...

Sorry Joonie, I'm confused

"so no sister Catherine ... that we know of ."

maybe I misunderstood, I thought in your previous post you were asking about Catherine Murphy's siblings (ie. Aunts and uncles to Joseph), which I posted at top of page 2. Catherine was the daughter of Michael Murphy and Mary Lynskey and had at least 2 siblings, Ned and Bessie.

I have to start going to bed at night :-)

yes, Catherine is not going to have a sister Catherine, that's what I'd been saying at the outset ... I think ... and then I lost my mind! Catherine Murphy in Philadelphia could be Joseph's cousin, niece of Joseph's mother Catherine (daughter of her brother) at best

and of course this would make Mary Murphy Perry Tasker a cousin of Joseph as well

there might well be some family connection between those Murphys, but there might just as well not be :-)
