Pat Langan born 1866, Ballinrobe, County Mayo, Ireland
Pat Langan, the son of Mathias Langan and Penelope Byrne was baptized on March 15, 1866.
The civil registration of his birth lists his birth as occurring on May 5, 1866, Creagh Road, Ballinrobe.
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.
Immigration, before 1886
I have not been able to find any immigration information on Pat Langan.
On the 1910 census he listed his immigration date as 1881.
Patrick Langan was married in 1887 in Springfield, Massachusetts. See below.
Naturalization
I did not find a naturalization record for Pat Langan. He did not file for naturalization through
the US Supreme in NYC.
Not all immigrants were naturalized. Estimates are that between 1890 and 1930 only about 25% of the
immigrant population were naturalized.
He did list himself as naturalized in the 1910 census.

Notes::
- John Thomas Langan did not die until 1898.
The four living children must have been: Matthias, Francis, John Thomas, and Katie.
- Kate born circa 1894 was listed in the 1910 census.
- There was some sort of error (perhaps clerical) at the birth of a daughter in 1897 who was listed on the birth
certificate as "Catherine". That child died
10 months later under the name Penelope.

1930 Census: not obvious
- Unknown, born between 1895 and 1897
I did a thorough search for the birth record and did not find it.
Note: I know that child # 5 was born to Pat and Kate because at
the birth of Kate in 1895 she was listed as the 4th of 4 living children and at the
birth of
"Catherine/Penelope" Langan in 1897, she was listed as the sixth of five
living children.
Birth
Civil Record: I did not find the civil record
Church Record: I did not find the baptismal record.
Death:
Between 1895 and 1897
- "Penelope" - "Catherine Langan" (1897-1897)
Birth
Civil Record:
"Catherine" Langan was born on
on January 10, 1897, father, Patrick Langan, age 32, born in Ireland, laborer, mother,
Catherine Hogan, born in NYC, age 29, address 427 19th Street, New York, the 6th
of 5 living
children. (1897 Manhattan certificate #26481)
Note: The five living children includes this "Catherine", Matthias, John
Thomas (who died in 1898), Francis, and Kate born in 1895 and listed in the 1910
census.
Church Record: I did not find the baptismal record.
Death: "Penolope" Langan, an infant of 10 months and 26 days born in NYC, died on
December 7, 1897 at 11 o'clock of Broncleo Pneumonia and Marasma.
She was ill from November 26, 1897, parents, Patrick Langan born in
Ireland and Catherine Langan born in Massachusetts. Penelope died at 402, E. 54th Street.
The Langan residence was listed at 427 E. 19th Street (Manhattan 1897 Death Certificate
#36654).
Notes:
- Catherine and Penelope must have been the same child.
- Since there was already a Kate alive when child was born I am assuming that the
name "Catherine" listed on the birth record was some sort of clerical error.
- Marasmus is a wasting disease caused by malnutrition.
- Patrick Langan (1899-1900)
Birth

This means that three of the
children of Patrick Langan and Catherine Hogan had died before 1899:
- Penelope died in December of 1897
- John Thomas died in December of 1895.
- The third child must have been Unknown born between 1895 and 1897.

Unknown Children of Pat Langan and
Catherine Hogan
Pat Langan and Catherine Hogan had 13 children according to the 1910 census when
the questions were posed: "Mother of how many children" and "Number now living".
Catherine replied 13 to the first question and 6 to the second.
The six were: - Mathias born c 1887
- Frank born 1892
- Kate (Catherine) born 1895
- Edward born 1901
- Robert born 1906
- Veronica born c 1908
I found deaths for
- John Thomas born 1891 died 1898
- Penelope (Catherine) born and died 1897
- Patrick born 1899 died 1900
I did not find deaths or birth records for
- A child born and died between 1895 and 1897,
based on the birth record of Penelope in 1897
- A child born between 1901 and 1906. Died before 1906. Based on the birth record of Robert in
1906.
- Child number 12, dates after 1906 before 1910, based on the 1910 census.
- Child number 13, dates after 1906 before 1910, based on the 1910 census.
Births were not always recorded with the city, especially if the child was born at home (as many were in the period of time in question).
Death were required to be reported to the city.
However, the death records as microfilmed by the NYC Archives are in VERY bad shape.
I made a stab at looking for the deaths of these children of Pat Langan and Catherine Hogan but on
too many of the records I could not read the names of the parents. The records are faded to
the point of being illegible.
In the end, it may be enough to acknowledge the lose of these children and the pain it must
have caused.
Since most of the burials I did find were at Holy Cross Cemetery.
It may be possible to write to them
and get more information. For my purposes it is not worth the expense.
The Langan Children according to Agnes Walsh Lahiff
Maria Lahiff Pedulla, the daughter of Agnes Walsh Lahiff, made some notes on information that
she got from her mother. Agnes listed four children for Pat Langan.
The four children were: Katie, Robert, Monica*, and Ed.
* Veronica?
My Notes on the Children of Pat Langan
- Robert was a witness to the marriage of Edward in 1928
- It is interesting that Thomas listed Anne Deveraux as their mother.
The widowed, Pat Langan, married the widowed,
Anne (Anastasia) Deveraux, in 1919. Anastasia was the widow of Pat's brother James.
Patrick Langan in the 1900 Census
I did not find them. They should have been at either 445 E 52nd Street (where they were listed in
June) or at 208 E 44th street (where they were listed in October).
445 E 52 Street is in Ward 19 — North by 86th St. East by Eat River.
South by 40th St. West by 6th Ave.
I need to determine the ED to do a place search.

Pat Langan were "wire lathers" and were involved with the
lathers union.
The Metallic Lather Union's web site at
Metallic Lathers and
Reinforcing Ironworkers and the New York Times make several references to Langans in Local 46.
- Chip Langan, Apprentice Coordinator 2009
-
Walter F. Langan was Recording Secretary for the union in 1969, at the death of one of the
local 46 members
- Roger D Langan, union member, died in August 2006
- James Langan was president of the Metal Lather Local 46 in 2001
According to marriage, census and other records all of the sons and several of the grandsons of Pat Langan were
"lathers":
- Mathias born 1887 was listed as a lather at his marriage in 1915 and his death in
1928
- Frank born 1892 was a member of Local 46 according to his grandson Gary Langan
Frank's sons were also members of Local 46 - Walter born 1914
- Roger born 1927
- Eddie born 1901 per 1928 marriage and Gary Langan
- Robert born 1906 per marriage 1929
Gary Langan wrote in April 2009 that his grandfather, Frank Langan (the Senator, a lather
nickname), his father, Walter Langan, and his uncle, Roger Langan were all members of Local 46.
He believes that his great uncles, Eddie and Billy, were also card members. His cousin,
Matt, is a current card member. Other
family members worked "under permit". That is, they worked as lathers but
were not union members.
