Hi Irishdancer. Glad to see you are still in the hunt. In St. Illtyds church in Merthyr there is a marriage between Timothy Harrington and Margaret Donovan Feb. 21 1855. Could this be them?  Joan ----- Original Message ----- From: Irishdancr@aol.com To: beara@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 8:46:40 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [BEARA] Cath: Harrington, Cork to Dowlais, Wales Hi Cath, I have a line from John Morris Harrington, born 1866 in Dowlais, to Timothy  Harrington and Mary Margaret Donovan Harrington. Timothy was born circa 1840 in  Cork.  Based on the children I'm guessing they were married about 1855,  with first known child born 1856 in Merthyr Tidfil, Wales. Back to John - he married my GGM's sister, Margaret Parker 1889 in Fulham,   MDX outside London. John was a Grenadier Guard, and had been in the Welsh   Boarder Guard. By 1898 the family immigraded to Pennsylvania, where I am still  in touch with John's GGdaughter.   Should any of this sound familiar, I have more to share. BTW, Harrington is the second most common name in Beara area, so could be a  needle in the haystack.
