Surnames: Donovan Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wJT.2ACEB/659.1.1 Message Board Post: Hello! I'm interested in a Patrick Donovan who emigrated to Fall River, Massachusetts. He was a weaver and married Margaret Reilly in Fall River around 1889. They had a daughter Julia the following year. I'm not sure of Patrick's origins. Same as you, lore says family from County Cork although Julia's birth record states both parents born in England. Any similarities to your Patrick?
