Timothy Driscoll (born about 1822) married Sarah Shepherd (born about 1829) in County Cork, Ireland (town/parish unknown). They had 2 children, William 1846, and Mary Ann, 1848. All 4 emigrated (although I can find them on no passenger list) and have settled in Oswego City, NY by the 1850 census (also in the house are a James and Mary Mow? and an 11-year-old William Shepherd). Sarah died around 1861 and Timothy remarried an Irish-born woman named Ellen (surname unknown, born c. 1835-1837). They settled at 177 W. Cayuga St. in Oswego City and had 3 children: Elizabeth (b. Oct. 1862), [John] Benjamin (b. September 3, 1866) and Frederick (b. 1868). Timothy died between 1888-1900. Ellen died between 1910-1920. Elizabeth never married and lived in the house on W. Cayuga until her death in 1837. Benjamin (my great-grandfather) married and had 7 children. Frederick vanishes early on. I am assuming that he died fairly young. I do not know Timothy or Sarah's parents' names and I know nothing about Ellen prior to her marriage to Timothy. I am trying to get marriage/death records from Oswego, hoping that parents' names &/or birth location will be listed. It has been suggested that Timothy may be from Dunmanway or Bandon, but I have no documentation to confirm this. Any information would be most helpful.
