Hi John,
You may also want to check www.findmypast.com which is a database of all outgoing passengers from the UK. I only did a very quick search, and the first instance there is of all three names together is in 1900 travelling from Queenstown to New York. No age given for Martin, but Michael born 1877, Mary Coll born 1876. The date range of this particular database is 1890-1960 which may be too late.
Do you have these people in the 1900 Census in the United States? That Census asks the year of immigration.

Nuala

Thank you both for your help,
I have been told via e-mal that it is possible that Mary Eliz Coll and Michael Noonan did not travel together, and that Martin McGarry may have arrived May 6, 1890 on the Arizona, and that Michael Noonan and Mary Eliz Coll were not on that ship. and According to the 1900 census, Michael Noonan arrived 1889 and his wife Margaret McGarry arrived 1890, Margaret was not on the Arizona, but a Margaret McGarry arrived June 23, 1890 aged 16 years, the age is a little out as I think she was born 1871 so 19 years old, also that a Michael Noonan aged 17 landed in Nova Scotia in 1887 this age would be spot on for him.
so it seems that the information I was give that they all went together may well have been incorrect.
Very best regards JOHN
