Susan Murry Quinn, my husband's grandmother, was the youngest of eleven children born to James Murray and Celia Linane. She was born in February of 1896* in New Quay, County Clare, Ireland. Her name was recorded as Susanna on her birth registration, but was called Susan or Susie. She came to New York City aboard the S. S. Carmania from Liverpool on September 4, 1921 and worked as a domestic until she married William Quinn in 1926.
*Her exact date of birth has not been determined. However, she was baptized on February 6, 1896 and at that time a child was baptized as soon as possible after the birth so I would assume that she was born on February 5 or February 6. Her birthday has been seen as February 7 and February 15 and family members reported celebrating her birthday on both February 10 and 14.
