Ohio Families

Susan Brennan was very likely born about 1874. She gave her own age when naturalized in 1937 as being 63. When her husband provided the information for the 1940 Census, on April 1, he said she was 64.

I didn't find a baptism record for Susan in the Kilbroney Parish Registers at nli.ie. There is a gap in the children between the second Bridget, baptized May 5, 1871, and John, baptized January 30, 1877.

When naturalized in 1937, Susan said she had been in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, County, Ohio, for 44 years.

This is probably an arrival record for Susan Brennan, daughter of Peter Brennan and Ann Savage. The address matches the information for the Susan Brennan that was working as a cook in the Henry W Osborn household in 1900.

Arriving in New York October 4, 1898, aboard the Scythia, which had left Liverpool September 20,
Susan Brennan, 24, single, female, servant, able to read and write. Nationality: Irish. Last residence: Rostnim. She had been in the US before, up until earlier 1898, in Cleveland. Destination: going home to 1555 Yuklet Ave. She paid for the trip herself and was carrying $15.

[Notes: could her previous residence be be Rostrevor? Could Yuklet Ave be Euclid Ave?]

Susan might have intended to return earlier. There is a Susan Brennan who was scratched from the manifest of the Aurania, which left from Liverpool and arrived in New York 1 September 1898.

This could be census information for Susan Brennan, daughter of Peter Brennan and Ann Savage. The address matches the information for the Susan Brennan that returned to the US in October 1898 aboard the Scythia.
