Martin Boland

I was able to follow Martin Boland through the Census Records of 1900, 1910 and 1920. As you know, Martin Boland is the brother of my great great grandfather John Boland. According to the Census Records, Martin immigrated to Philadelphia in 1880. He married a woman by the first name of Anna (Annie) in 1882 and according to the records of 1900, they lived at 186 Calumet Street in the East Falls Section of Philadelphia. In 1900, they had six children listed as follows; Katie (1884), Nellie (1886), William (1888), Mary (1889), Edward (1892) and Annie (1896).

By the year 1910, Martin Boland would be a widower.

By the year 1920, Martin would still be living on Calumet Street with his youngest daughter Annie and her husband Thomas McLaughlin. Thomas McLaughlin immigrated to Philadelphia from Scotland in 1919 and was listed as a Brickman for the Reading Railroad.

Of notice, in the 1920 Census Records, there was a John Ritter on that same block and in 1910 Census Records, there was a William Boland (probably Martin's son) on that same block.

I could not find any Military Records on Martin. I found one Ship record but at the time I cannot verify if it is Martin's record.
