Looking for any information on Edward Russell Toohey who died in San Francisco 1959. It seems he also used the name Patrick O' Malley. He was born in Barnesboro Pennsylvania and have been unable to find him in any census after 1920.
Would welcome any help.
Regards

I can't find him in the 1920 US Census. Where exactly was the family living?

Sorry about delay in getting back. Last record in Census was in Center township Indiana county PA where he is enumerated as Russell parents P H and Annie brother Morris.

Still can't find him. Can you please find him in the 1920 US Census at FamilySearch.org and then post the link here?

OK, found him. FamilySearch.org has him as Russell Tookey.

How can you be sure this is the same man? This one was supposedly born in 1912.

It's difficult to find as it is transcribed as Tookey - Link

According to FamilySearch.org there's a Russell Tomley in San Francisco who is a lodger in the 1930 US Census. He seems like a good possibility for your Russell Toohey. I don't have access here -- Can you check this? What other info is included in the census?

Looks like a possibility but strangely there is no information re Birth date -gives UN- same for birth place or parents birthplace - just says US no occupation given either. there are about 5 entries of lodgers with no information. The area is either Taylor Street or Jongler Street difficult to make out - so no help from this .since my first post I have found a Patrick O Malley in the SF directories that is a possibility - he was working for the SF Assn for the Blind over a period of 10 or more years and the information from the Social security application form confirms it is possibly the same person though he gives totally different parents from those on the death cert. All very confusing.
Thanks for your interest.

Do you know when and where he changed his name? I guess he did not do it "officially" through the courts, since he died with his original name...?
