Event Date Place Description Sources
Birth August 27, 1862 Ireland   1a
Event Note

John's immigration information said he was born August 27, 1862 in Ireland. His 1900 Census said he was born August 1862 in England. His death record said he was born 1866 in Ireland. I didn't find a birth or baptism record for him. He was most likely born in Rostrevor, County Down, unless his parents moved there after John was born. See his younger siblings' information.
