James Langan was baptized in Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo, Ireland, on April 1, 1877. The civil registration of his birth says that he was born April 14, 1877 on Glebe Street, Ballinrobe to Mathias Langan and Nappy Byrne Langan.

Note: Baptisms before births are a common Irish occurrence. The Irish had their children baptized almost immediately but reported the birth to the authorities when they got around to it.

James Langan immigrated to New York City with his parents, Mathias and Penelope, and his sister, Bridget, on the S.S. Germanic, which sailed from Queenstown, Ireland and arrived in New York City on April 1, 1892.

He was listed on the ship manifest as, James Langan, age 14, joiner, nationality, USA, last residence, NY.

Naturalization

James Langan was naturalized in New York in March 1913:

• In his Declaration of Intention for Naturalization, dated July 20, 1910, James Langan listed his occupation as porter. He said that he was born in County Mayo, Ireland on April 1, 1877. He said he was 33 years old, color, white, complexion, dark, height, 5 ft. 11 inches, weight 158 pounds, hair color, brown, eye color, gray, and that he had with no visible distinctive marks. His listed his address, 319 E. 56th Street in New York City. He said he immigrated from Queenstown, Ireland on the vessel, Adriatic, which arrived in the port of New York on the 1st of April 1892.

  Note:

  While he did arrive on the of April 1, 1892, the ship was the Germanic.

  
  
• On the subsequent Petition for Naturalization, he said that he lived at 896 2nd Avenue. All other information he listed was the same as on his Declaration of Intention, except that he listed his wife, Anastasia Devereux, born in Kilkenny, Ireland and his five children, all born in New York:

Marriage to Anastasia Deveroux

James Langan married Anastasia Devereux circa 1901-02. I made a thorough search of the marriage records from 1900 to 1903 and could not find the marriage record in Manhattan or Brooklyn.

The information sheet provided by the New York City Archives says:

"Not all marriages were reported to the city. This is most frequently the case with marriages performed in the Roman Catholic churches."

The date is estimated on the fact that they had their first known child on October 9, 1903 and that James was still living with his parents in the 1900 census.

3. Margaret Langan (1906-1908)

   Birth:

   Civil Record: "Margaret" Langan was born on September 25, 1906.

   The record lists "Phinelpa", the daughter of James Langan, age 29, born in Ireland, occupation, conductor and Clara Kelly Devero, age 28, born in Ireland. The address was 335 E 39th Street. "Phinelpa" was listed as the 2nd of two living children.

   "Philnelpa" is how the record is listed on the index. On the actual record, the city seal covers part of the name and only "nelpa" can be clearly read on the microfilm.

   Note:

   This is one of those records I love and hate at the same time.

   I am certain the this is the right birth record for "Margaret" Langan, the daughter of James Langan and Anastacia Deveroux who died in 1908 because:

   • There were a limited number of births recorded for the name Langan between the birth of Thomas in August 1905 and the birth of Agnes in October 1907.
   • Despite the strange spelling "Devero", the mother's surname, age and place of birth are correct.
   • Counting back from the death record, this child should have been born in August 1906. However, September is close enough so there is no real problem with the actual date of birth.
   • The clincher is the address, 335 E 39th; the same address for both the birth and death.

   The problems are:

   • James' occupation on all other records was "waiter". Did he have a job as a "conductor" in 1906 or is this a clerical error?
   • How did Anastasia become "Clara Kelly"?
   • "Philnelpa" is listed as the second of two living children when she should have been listed as the third of three living children.
   • Why was she called "Philnelpa" at the birth and "Margaret" at the death?

   There are enough malapropism in the Langan records that I have to believe that they had such heavy Irish accents that the clerks could not understand them. I am sure that "Philnelpa" is meant to be "Penelope". Obviously the clerk had no idea how to spell Deveroux. He/she may have been Italian with the "Devero" spelling. Where the "Clara Kelly" came from, I can't figure out.

   Church Record: I did not find the baptismal record

   Death: Margaret Langan, age 1 year and 5 months, the daughter of James Langan and Anna "Devereuo", died of Measles, brocho pneumonia and apnea on January 20, 1908. The family's address was 335 E. 39th Street. Margaret was buried on January 21, 1908 in Calvary Cemetery in the same grave as Penelope Langan.

4. Agnes Langan (1907-) married John Bunyan, Archibald Bunyan and Carl Lundgren
