Surnames: Flynn, Byrnes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4dW.2ACEB/1530 Message Board Post: Margaret eloped at 15 with ? Flynn & fled to Canada. She gave birth to daughter Mary in St. Catharine's in Nov.1860. At that point, she was already a widow. Margaret remarried to name unknown, and supposedly is buried with him in Randolph NY. Have not found her or daughter Mary in censuses for either Ontario or NY. I am guessing she was born in the early 1840s. I have proof of Mary's birth, but the rest is lore handed down from an aunt. Does anything here ring a bell? Virginia Humphrey
