After the Famine, Ireland's slow economic progress resulted in a continued drain of talented, hard-working young people. Between 1851 and 1921, an estimated 4.5 million Irish left home and headed mainly to the United States.
Mary Kate Reynolds, age 21, traveled from Limerick City, to Queenstown (now Cobh, County Cork), and boarded the Westerland, on Dec. 12,1901. She arrived in Philadelphia on Dec. 21st. She then traveled to Chicago, to live with her aunt, Margaret McCarthy, nee Duhig, her mother's sister, on South Springfield Ave., who paid for her passage.
Mary Kate's aunt, Margaret McCarthy, husband was John McCarthy (born 1864). John's brother, Frank McCarthy had a daughter, Alice, born in 1889, who married Gus (Gustav) Edgar Slingo. Gus and Alice Slingo were Mary Kate Reynolds cousins. The Slingo family introduced Mary Kate Reynolds to John Fitzgerald according to our family history. Gus and Alice Slingo had 3 children: Clarence (born 1914, died 1922), Alice (born 1916), and Margaret (born April 8, 1918). Mary Kate's daughter, Joan, was born May 9, 1918.
Before Alice's marriage to Gus, in the Census of 1910, Alice's occupation was Nursing, Sanitorium.
John Fitzgerald, age 30, and Mary Kate Reynolds, age 24, were married on Saturday, November 25, 1905, St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, on Chicago's near west side.
