I remembered the Bridget/Delia thing because my own mother was called Bridget
She never wanted to be known as Delia but had planned to use the name for my eldest sister. My sister was named Maureen instead!!

Thank you all for the information, this is very helpful. Like you I had no idea that Delia was a version of Bridget, we learn something new every day. Thanks again Regards Jeanette :

Well, I would never have guessed that Delia was a version of Bridget. Found this on a site about names: "Several correspondents in the US have noted that Delia is a common pet name for Bridget, being a shortened form of its variant Bedelia"
Perhaps she used the different version when she got to the US?
Unfortunately, the US arrivals around that time give scant information, just give birthplace as Ireland, also Delia's year of arrival varies a lot between 1920 and 1925 census. There are way too many Bridget Henrys arriving in the US to accurately pinpoint hers.

James Henry's parents were Patrick Henry and Ellen Mullowney. They were married on 21st March 1855 in the church of Dromard Co.Sligo. Patrick died in December 1911 aged 84 and Ellen died January1893 aged 60. They lived in Ross,parish of Skreen/Dromard. I do not have birth certs for them. They had I believe 8 children the eldest being Bridget born c1857. Again I only have birth cert for James (my grandfather) 1872-1953. Bridget (Delia?) would have been my Great Aunt. This fits in with Delia being the Aunt of Margaret Henry. Thanks to AnnCardiff, Anne and MarieCeleste. Regards Jeanette

Thanks Ann, If we can establish who James's parents were, we may be able to find a birth record for both him and Delia. I am fairly certain that Delia's birth name will be Bridget Henry!

Just looking at this and rememberiig the other thread for Margaret Henry and her emigration. Margaret was going to NY and was collected by her "Aunt" Delia Finnegan.
The birth listed above for Daniel Finnegan b 1892 says his mother's name was Delia Henry Therefore it is quite possible that Delia Finnegan MS Henry and James Henry ( Margaret's father) were siblings James Henry is on the 1911 census in Co Sligo aged 38yrs= born circa 1873 His place of birth is: Sligo Delia Finnegan b Ireland, is aged 56 on 1920 census in NY = born circa 1864.
Edit NB I have just double checked, and as I thought, Delia is a variant name for : Bridget. Jeanette, do you know who James Henry's parents were?

A possible birth of a child for Daniel & Delia:
Daniel Finnegan in entry for Mary Ellen Finnegan, "New York, Births and Christenings, 1640-1962"

Middle name of Delia implies it's her maiden name so she could be related to Maggie on her father's side.

A link to the thread where Delia first made a brief appearance: http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1322588?page=0
The first of the two 1920 census that Alviegal posted at 14:09 is the correct one.
(Would probably have been an idea to have continued on the other thread)
According to that 1920 census Daniel arrived in US in 1874 and Delia in 1881 so they likely married in US (or 6 years was a long time to be apart). Daniel was naturalised 1880.
Delia was the aunt of Maggie Henry when that girl arrived in NY in 1925. Don't know if she was an aunt by marriage or bloodline.
