Trying to find more information on my McCULLOUGH and McNALLY ancestors. James McCullough and Elizabeth McNally were both born in County Monaghan in 1826 according to family records and death certificates. Elizabeth was the daughter of Arthur McNally. We found a record that shows a James McCullough and wife Elizabeth arriving in Philadelphia on the Ship Superior in July, 1849. There is no information found about them for many years. They had a son born in February of 1863 in Joliet, Will Co. IL. Will Co. had no record when contacted several years ago. They had 2 daughters born in Kellogg, Jasper Co. IA in 1864 and 1866. According to the 1900 census Elizabeth stated she had given birth to 3 children and all 3 were living. The big mystery is where were they and what were they doing between 1849 and 1863???? We also cannot find information on the families in Ireland (James parents, siblings and Elizabeth mother, siblings - their marriage date, etc.) I have fairly good information on their son James and his famiy as he was my grandfather ! (he was in his late forties when my father was born). Daughter Mary Jane married an L. Stoll 26 September 1888 in Polk Co. IA - no other information except that she died in 1902 in Des Moines. Daughter Rose Anna married Philip Streck and they lived in Grinnell, Poweshiek Co. IA. Thank you for any help and suggestions. Elaine
