If he became a citizen, his papers should at least say what county he was from. Burials of Irish born in the 1880s frequently give place of origin in Ireland. Newspaper obituary is another clue to look for. The National Archives branch in Waltham, Mass. has the naturalization papers for U.S. District and Circuit Courts for the New England states. http://www.archives.gov/northeast/ National Archives - Northeast Regional Records Administration in Waltham, MA for Naturalization records and passenger lists for New England states -dja

Thanks for advice Dennis. However, been there and done that as they say. Thomas was apparently never naturalized. (went to NARA in Waltham) The headstone to the gravestone is missing. Any other surviving records do not give detailed information about his origin, including local obituary (only 2 lines in length). I did find out which church he was married in so maybe they have a marriage certificate with some info. thanks again, James Leach "Dennis Ahern" wrote: >jimmy <jbird0490@yahoo.com> wrote: >: LEACH, ThOMas. b1825, left aboard the Liverpool, from Liverpool. >: Came to Providence, RI, married Anne Brady in 1865, had children: >: George, Eliza, Mary, Joseph, Sarah.
