I am researching the following families: MCBRIDE-- Cranford, Parish of Kilmacrenan, Donegal, emigrated to U.S. (Philadelphia) in 1880 and thereafter. Several McBride lines in same family; names include Michael, Edward, Patrick, Ellen, Mary, and Unity. MAGUIRE/MCGUIRE-- emigrated from Ireland (possibly Donegal) approximately 1838-1843, possibly as late as 1849. Lived in PA coal region (Butler and Cass Townships, Schuylkill County) 1850 through 1900 and possibly later; some moved to Philadelphia. Common names include Dennis, Cornelius/Condy, Patrick, Thomas, Rose, Margaret, Michael, Joseph, Mary, Dominic. Earliest known ancestor is Dennis Maguire/McGuire, who married Catharine (Katie) Burns in Ireland about 1835. They had two children in Ireland-- Rosanna, born about 1835-1838 and Cornelius (Condy), born about 1837-1840. Condy served in Civil War (7th PA Cavalry). My ancestor is Dennis and Katie's daughter Margaret Maguire/McGuire, born about 1843-1849 in PA with twin brother Patrick. Margaret married Cornelius (Condy) Cunningham about 1867, probably in Schuylkill County. CUNNINGHAM-- possibly from Donegal, emigrated to PA coal regions (see above), probably before 1860. My ancestor is Cornelius/Condy, born about 1832-1840 with apparent connection to Owen Cunningham (Owen served as sponsor at christening of Condy's daughter) and possibly James and John in same area. Condy married Margaret Maguire/McGuire about 1867, probably in Schuylkill County. BURNS/BYRNE-- Ireland, possibly Donegal to PA coal regions (same as above) about 1838-1849. Catharine (Katie) Burns married Dennis Maguire/McGuire in Ireland about 1835; at least two children born in Ireland-- Rosanna, born about 1835-1838 and Cornelius (Condy), born about 1837-1840 (see Maguire/McGuire above).
