Joseph Ambrose Whelan

Joseph Ambrose Whelan


From Genealogical History of Hudson and Bergen Counties New Jersey edited by Cornelius Burnham Harvey, published in 1900; page 585.

"Joseph H. Whelan, son of William and Catherine (Maher) Whelan, was born in Jersey City, NJ, October 28, 1864. There he received his education. He has been active in politics for a number of years, and as a Democrat has become a trustworthy leader in party councils. He has served as Deputy Sheriff, as County Index Clerk, and in other important capacities. He is a member of the Robert Davis Association, and one of the best known men in Hudson County. Mr. Whelan married Mary Walpole and has one daughter, Mary."

From the marriage records of St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church in Jersey City, it would appear that the above article gets Joseph's middle name wrong. The church records the marriage of Joseph Ambrose Whelan and Mary Cecilia Walpole on June 19, 1889.
