From Genealogical and Personal History of Western Pennsylvania:

William Sirdevan was born in county Mayo, Ireland, and there followed the occupation of farming. Because of the famine in that country, he removed with his family, in 1855, to Ashton, near Manchester, England, and there his death occurred. Those members of the family who were able to do so worked in the cotton mills during their residence in England. After the death of Mr. Sirdevan, his wife came to America with her children, and settled in Titusville, Pennsylvania, in 1872. They were all of the Roman Catholic faith. Mr. Sirdevan had married Anna Gannon, also born in county Mayo, Ireland. The Sirdevan family had lived in county Mayo many generations. Mr. and Mrs. Sirdevan had children: Michael, of further mention; David, is a retired bricklayer, unmarried, and lives in Titusville, whither he came in 1870; John, died in infancy; Anna, unmarried, lives in Titusville; David, died September 15, 1914; Mary, married James O'Brien, an acid boiler, and lives in Titusville, Pennsylvania.
