Her father was Jeremiah Carroll, born 1854 in NY. He went to Ontario Canada and married Elizabeth A. Meehan. Then they ended up in Cook co. Chicago, Illinois. That is where Jeremiah died at the age of 40 yrs in 1894. I can't find any record of him in NY. He says his parents were from Ireland, but not where. I sent for Jeremiah's death cert. and it didn't tell me anything, no place of birth, just NY. No parents names either. I have been looking for 10 yrs for this person. I know who his children were and the first 4 were born in Ontario, Canada and the rest in Ill. Family search has him listed as JEREMICH CARROLL. I think sometimes he was called Jeremy. I can only find 1 census with him, wife and 4 children. The ones born in Ill., I have yet to find. I sure would like to find out WHERE in NY he was born, and who his parents were. Any advice is appreciated, I don't know where to turn next. His first son w! as named John, then Thomas, James, Edward Arthur, Jeremiah 1880. None of these names came from the Meehan's that I know of. Girls were Mary, Frances, Catherine, Elizabeth. thanks Judy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
