Hi Brian,
Were the streets in Irish neighborhoods? First, the streets weren't far
from one another. Second, it would depend on the house number. The closer
they were to Allegheny Ave, the more likely they were to be surrounded by
Irish. Allegheny Ave was abt 3400 north in numbers. The streets would have
ended there. However, Irish were throughout that area in the early 1900s
from abt 2200 north to Allegheny. I researched the census lists looking for
cousins (McHugh) and found a lot of Irish in that neighborhood. Bud
Locomotive/Automotive and Tastykake Bakers were the major employers for the
area. Both were on Allegheny in that neighborhood.
After 1937....how about this,

U.S. World War II Draft Registration Cards, 1942 about Joseph McGlynn
Name: Joseph McGlynn
Birth Date: 25 Jun 1884
RESIDENCE: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Birth: Longford, Ireland
Roll: WW2_2139049
Note regarding the images for the states of PA, MD, WV, and DE. These four
states were scanned at the National Archives facility in such a way that the
back of one person's draft card appears on the same image as the front of
the next individual. The result is that when you click to view the original
image, you will see the correct front side of the draft card, but the back
of the previous soldier's card. Ancestry is aware of this problem, and is
working to correct this issue.
The actual draft registration image is attached above.
It's a start.
God bless.

My Joseph McGlynn went to Scotland from Ireland first. After a few years
there he went to Philadelphia and his Scottish born (of Irish parents) wife,
Margaret Walsh followed him They married in St Columba's RC church in
Philadelphia in 1911. He lived in Glenwood at time of marriage and later at
West Seltzer St. and Hemberger St.
He had a daughter Josephine who married a Martin Dunne in 1937 in the same
church.

Were these streets typical Irish areas?

How would I trace Josephine & Martin after 1937?

Thanks.

Brian
