I have very little information to go on: Daniel Driscoll born in County Cork - birth date aprox 1810. Married Mary Ryan who was born 1811 in Ireland. I don't know for sure if they were married in Ireland or met in the US. Daniel's place of birth was pulled from an 1899 obit of his son, Cornelius Daniel was an Engraver by trade. He showed up in Lockport NY in 1833. He and Mary Ryan were married and had a son named Timothy Driscoll who was born Lockport NY 1833. I got this information from following the family in the US Census files. Daniel and family moved to Galena Illinois in 1836, acquired land and had 7 more children while living in Illinois: Cornelius born 1838, Bridget born 1840, Margaret born 1842, Mary born 1844, Ellen born 1847, and twins Elizabeth and Philips born 1849. Daniel died in 1852 in Missouri. If anybody can place him in County Cork, find a ship he emigrated on, find information on Mary Ryan, their marriage or point me in a direction I would be thrilled. If you are related that would be fantastic. I have some decent information about the family from Galena to present day. I have run into lots of brick walls though since these names are not uncommon. I am sorting through thousands of hits. THANKS **sheila http://www.eladrin.com/Driscoll-Mcarthur/

Sheila, There are many Driscoll's found on Clear Island south of Cork City. It is accessed by ferry from Baltimore, County Cork. I don't have any names, but we have a friend who is a Driscoll who inherited his grandfather's house on the island. Whether this family is part of your Daniel Driscoll's family I don't know. I would suggest that you focus on the southern County Cork area. Hope this gives you some leads.
