IVA .......... Thanks for your interest & your note. Following is what I know about my GG/gm, Elizabeth Brown Laverty, which isnt much. In my continual search for family members, I havent found any Brown members either in NAmerica or Ireland, but its fun looking for them. Sorry, but I dont recognize any of your Brown family members that you posted. I do, though, have much info on Elizabeth Brown Laverty's children. If we can't "connect" in NAmerica, perhaps we are "connected" way back someplace in Ireland. Have fun. All The Best, ED COSTELLO, 1009 Blenheim Dr Raleigh NC 27612 , tel: 919-782-6058; COSTELLO (FAHEY): Co Mayo > CT, MA, ME USA > USA; JOYCE (DOWER): Co Mayo > MA USA; HAGGERTY (McGUIRE): Co Donegal > NB Canada > ME USA > USA; LAVERTY (BROWN), (KELLY): Co Armagh > NB Can > ME, CA USA > USA, Can. George Laverty b. 1782 in Armagh? Ireland arrived in New Brunswick,Canada, c. 1816 with wife ELIZABETH BROWN & son William b: 1815. Other children were: Isaac b. 1817 m. Elizabeth Baldwin, Mary Jane b. 1821 m. John Bryden, John b. 1825 in Maugerville, N.B. m. Annie Dougherty, Elizabeth b. 1828 (no further info on her), and Matilda b. 1831 or 36 m. John Dickison. Do not know where they lived prior to 1825 (John's obit states he was born in Maugerville). In the 1830s they petitioned for land in S. Richmond, Carleton Co., N.B. (near Debec). Many family members remained there but some moved elsewhere in Canada and the U.S. (ME, MA, CA and??) Would appreciate any further info on this family. I am anxious to make the connection to their Irish roots. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
