Mary Doyle - Radner Square PO Box 842

Can anyone tell me where Radner Square, PO Box 842 is/was. This is the only address from @ 1912 we have for our ggrandmother who left Ireland in 1906 never to return. She married a fellow Irishman @ 1911-13 (O'Brien or Quinlan) and there were children but no details known to the family in Ireland. This is one brickwall that I would dearly love to demolish! I greatly appreciate any help. Thank you so much. Sally, England

Mary was born in County Carlow and christened on 1 Jul 1883. (I've been unable to find her birth certificate in Dublin either!)
Mary made no direct contact with her family again after leaving Ireland in 1907 and she was an unspoken subject.Therefore details are scant of her life in the US.
She was a domestic servant and she married either WILLIAM O'BRIEN or JAMES QUINLAN (or a permutation of both as there is an equal division within the family as to which one she married!) possibly from Waterford about 1911-1913, but not in Philadelphia as we have had the court records checked there. (I may have found his entry into the US through Ellis Island in 1897 but he was a butcher and her husband supposedly was 'good with his hands working with wood' and possibly worked on or near the railroad). We are aware there were at least two children from this marriage.
Date and place of death are not known. I have tried to match her details with the SSDI but due to her uncertain surname that is also proving difficult. I also trawled through the 1920 Census and found only one entry which could have been a possible but was so badly filmed it wasn't very legible.
We do have a photograph of the 'happy couple' we are considering posting to some newspapers in the Philadelphia/Radnor area as her grandchildren and great grandchildren would really like to make contact and to visit the family over there.
Our next possiblilty is to perhaps have the court records at Radnor checked for a marriage.
I like your optimism that 'this should be easy'!Any information or guidance will be gratefully received as there are many years to make up as you can see.
Many thanks in anticipation - Sally

I'm grasping at straws, but desperate to find out anything about my great grandmother. All I have is the last name Doyle. Birth date (i'm guessing) 1830, perhaps New York, Pennsylvania or Ireland. Married a Ferguson, from New York. Had a son, Frederick L. Ferguson 1867.... Any help would be appreciated.. Thank You, Sharon Ferguson Wright
