Plain reading
Alexander Connor, a single Irish joiner of Armoy (Co. Antrim), landed at Philadelphia on 3 June 1907 and was going to his brother Francis Connor at 1417 S. 21st Street.
Notes
The street number is partly hard to read, and the brother is Francis Connor, not William McCauley. This also makes Mary McCauley probably née Connor, which is POSSIBLE only (no record read gives her maiden name).
Conflicts noted: none. (1417 S. 21st St. in Prior-Research / Chapter-2-12-Prior-Transcripts line 1073 against the "21st or 31st" reading here: the 1910 census gives 21st.)
