I realize your last post is old but hopefully this message will find you. My gggrandfather Patrick Donovan was the son of a Jeremiah and Hannah Donovan. All I know is that Patrick married his wife Margaret Riley in Fall River, MA in Dec. 1888 at the age of 19. They had a daughter Julia the following March. He worked on the docks at the time of his wedding and as a weaver at the time of Julia's birth. I do not know when he came over to New England or if he had any family over here. Any connection?
