Do you know the county where they came from? I am not sure where mine came from although mine are supposed to have married in County Clare. Mine are William Breen and Mary McGrath who emigrated to New York with 6 children circa 1847 where two children died. My family went on to Rochester and then settled in Hamilton Ontario, Canada. William died soon after and Mary remarried Patrick Shea.
