This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Donovan, Riley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wJT.2ACEB/673 Message Board Post: To update my previous response to Jan Massey: My Patrick was born to Jeremiah and Hannah Donovan (around 1869). He actually married Margaret RILEY (daughter of John and Mary) in Dec. 1888 in Fall River, MA and their daughter Julia was born the following year. Again, family history insists that Julia's parents were Irish, I'm going on the assumption that Jeremiah and/or Hannah were Irish and transplanted to England. Any information on this chain is greatly appreciated!
