Yes James, there were many that came to Fall River from Tyrone, including my Malone family..... What is your grandfather's name? Paula In a message dated 9/11/2008 7:18:53 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, jpmurphy@jpmurphy.com writes: In c. 1873 my grandfather's Co. Tyrone family moved to Fall River, Mass., where he was born in 1875. I cannot find them there in the 1880 or 1900 census. Nor can I find a Fall River birth record. I know that he "went West" and before age 30 was drilling oil wells in W.Va. I have to assume the family left Fall River (largely cotton mill employment) shortly after their arrival. Question: Which cities in, say, Upstate New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland and/or Pennsylvania attracted families from Co. Tyrone? My grandfather was R.C. but he quickly became active in Elks and Masonic lodges and married a W.Va. Scots Irish girl. Is Fall River even plausible as a destination for Irish from Co. Tyrone? Reasoned leads as well as pure speculation will be appreciated. James P.
