Hi Maureen In regards to the February 16th posting. Do you have a Bessie Maguire ( or Elizabeth) in your Maguires? My great great grandmother was Bessie Maguire married to a Hugh McDonnell . They had 13 children I believe, and 3 of the sons emigrated together to the US in 1889. John was born in 1870, Patrick 1867 and James in 1868. I would apprecitate any information you might have on them as it is about the same time frame that you mention
