Notities over Simon Michael Carr

BIRTH:
Identified as brother of Mary Ann Carr by Catherine Dolan Simon, based on oral family history from her father and mother. Her father's "Uncle Simey," was an occasional visitor to their house, and he is buried in the Dolan family plot in Holy Cross Cemetery, Yeadon, Pennsylvania.
Month of birth estimated as December 1861 from date of baptism of 19 December 1861, below. Baptismal record names parents as Thomas Kerr and Anne McGarrigle. Baptismal register is on microfillm no. FHL 979704, item no. 8. The actual script record on microfilm gives the name as "Simon of Thomas Kerr and Anne McGargle," but as transcribed into the computerized database at Lough Derg, the record bears the name "Susan Kerr." The occurrence of a birth record for Simon Carr in 1861, 5 years in advance of the 1866 dates provided by John J. Dolan (who added 5 years to most dates he provided to his family and in public records for which he was responsible) would not surprise.
A civil birth record for Simon Carr has not been found, but since Catholic births began to be registered in Ireland starting in 1865, the absence of a Simon Carr from the Irish Civil Registration indexes is consistent with his birth prior to 1865.
December 1861 birth date is consistent with entry for Simon Carr in the school roll of Pettigo Boys and Girls School in 1872, at age 10. See below under Education.
December 1861 birth date is also consistent with age (18 years) in the 1880 U.S. Census for Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, page 409C, line 39. Place of birth given as Ireland. Enumerated as Simon Carr, with uncle Bernard Carr and his son, Thomas Carr.
Year of birth would be 1870, according to age (60 years) in 1930 U.S. Census for Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, E.D. 51-477, Sheet 22A, Line 24. Enumerated as Michael Carr, a lodger, in the household of Grace Vallimont at 1212 North 53rd Street, Philadelphia. This is the same address as that given on his death certificate in December 1930. Enumerated as Michael Carr (apparently his middle name) instead of as Simon Carr. Place of birth given as Northern Ireland.
Year of birth would be 1866-1867, according to age (63 years) given at death in the cemetery records of Holy Cross Cemetery, furnished to Catherine Dolan Simon ("Lot Inquiry List") by Holy Cross Cemetery on 5 June 2007.
Same age (63 years) listed in Pennsylvania Death Certificate No. 80939 (1930), on file in the Pennsylvania Department of Health and a copy of which is in the possession of Robert M. Simon. Place of birth given as Ireland. Name given as Simon M. Carr. Parents named as Thomas R. Carr and Ann McGarrigle. John J. Dolan was the informant.
A "Simon Carre" is listed in the Ireland Civil Registration Indexes with a birth in 1867 in the Donegal Registration District, volume 7, page 53, but his parents are listed as John and Biddy Carre of Mount Charles, so this is not the Ballymacvany Simon Carr, but a cousin.

CHRISTENING: Full date of 19 December 1861 given for the baptism of Simon Kerr in the baptismal registers of Carn parish, Pettigo, currently maintained at Lough Derg, Pettigo, County Donegal, Ireland, as provided by personal communication to Robert M. Simon in October 2011 from the parish office. Parents named as Thomas Kerr and Anne McGarrigle. Witnesses/godparents were Hugh Kerr and Margaret Monaghan.

EDUCATION: Admitted to the Pettigo Boys and Girls School, 1872, at age 10. Entry in the school roll: "Carr, Simon, 10, RC, Ballymacavanney." Register abstracted in John B. Cunningham, "All Our Yesterdays: Kesh Primary School. Kesh County Primary School and the Schools of the Parishes of Drumkeeran and Magheraculmoney," Fintona: Ecclesville Printing Services, 2009, page 227.

IMMIGRATION:
The 1930 U.S. Census Record states that he immigrated to the United States in 1885 and was a naturalized citizen. This is inconsistent with him being listed in the 1880 U.S. Census, but immigration dates in later census years are sometimes inaccurate.
