She was born in Thurles, County Tipperary, Ireland between 1815-1821. She married John LOWRY on June 3, 1848, in Thurles. The family emigrated to America in about 1865 and first resided in Peotone, Will County, Illinois. In 1871 they migrated to Crittenden Twp., Champaign County, Illinois. Margaret died on February 24, 1887, in Tolono, Champaign County, Illinois. She was buried in St. Patrick's Cemetery in Tolono. Margaret (nee NOLAN) LOWRY had a brother, John NOLAN, who also emigrated to America. His life has been somewhat confusing to me and a few other researchers due to the abundance of "John Nolan's". I believe that John was born in 1815 in County Tipperary. I believe he married Ann DERMODY, but I cannot prove this relationship. John and Ann, I believe, were located in Wilmington, Will County, Illinois, and died there. Ann died in about 1866 and John died in about 1883. Between 1870-1879, I believe John relocated to Crittenden Twp., Champaign County, Illinois. This fact is found in a book entitled, "The Family of Matthew Jennett". John and Ann's daughter, Mary Ann NOLAN, married James JENNETT, son of Matthew JENNETT, in Champaign County on January 17, 1876. With regard to your relatives, John NOLAN, and his sister, Ellen NOLAN, I have a few questions: 1. Who are their parents and grandparents? 2. Where is Ivesdale? Is it in Champaign County, IL? 3. You say that John is now 97 years of age. How much family history does he remember? Thanks! Kevin Miller --part1_bc.1f31fefe.29607d30_boundary--

Yes, Ivesdale is in Champaign County. It's near Tolono, Sadorus, and the largest town nearby is Champaign,IL. J. GROVES-HURT Snip: <2. Where is Ivesdale? Is it in Champaign County, IL? Kevin Miller>

RYAN b June 4, 1887 d Jan. 17, 1982 Hope this helps......It was really cold and windy and as I was taking pictures of Tombstones my husband was suppose to be putting down name of cemetery of where pictures were being taken.......At this time I'm not sure as to which cemetery they were located. Sorry... I was taking them to see if they were related to my Maley/Gorman/Quinn/Whalen/McCafferty/McNally/McGrath Surnames and other allied families. Would like to hear from you if possible that we might be related. Pat Maley-Curtis anglers@bullshoals.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.
