  The family surname was recorded as Fowley in the baptism record. The priest did not record the date of birth but per tradition, baptisms were usually performed within a few weeks of birth.
  Immigration	14 Sep 1899	Boston, Massacheutts, United States   [3]
  An immigration record for 14 Sep 1899 shows Hannah M. Foley arriving in the USA on the La Grande Duchesse "to visit her sisters in Bristol, CT'.
  Census	1900	Bristol, Hartford, Connecticut, United States   [3]
  A record in the 1900 US Census shows that Hannah M. Foley of Newfoundland was in Bristol, CT where she was working as a servant for George H. Hall and family, living at 136 North Street. In this census, she indicated that she had arrived in the US in 1899.
  Immigration	8 Apr 1910	Ellis Island, New York, New York, United States   [3]
  Year: 1910; Arrival: New York, New York, USA; Microfilm Serial: T715, 1897-1957; Line: 24; Page Number: 95 In 1910, Hannah, age 38, was a passenger on the Rosalind, from St. John's, Newfoundland along with her children Dannie age 5, Eddie age 3, and Mary 6 months. She gave her place of birth as Ferryland and her next of kin in Newfoundland as Mrs. H. Shea, 19 Stevens St., St. John's. She declared that she and her children were joining her husband Joseph Shea, who was already in the US and living at 695 Henry St. in Brooklyn, New York. Also in her 1910 declaration, Hannah indicated she had been in the US before, in 1903. I did not find a record for that year, but another immigration record shows that she did enter the US in 1899 and was working in Bristol, CT per the 1900 Census. We know that she later returned to Newfoundland where she married Joseph Shea in 1902.
