I am researching a James McGovern and wife, Mary Cullen, who came to NYC in March 1849 from Co. Leitrim, Ireland. James was born 1792 and Mary 1794. Two of their children, John and Bridget, came to NYC in April 1847 with Mary Cullen's younger brother, John Cullen and his family. The McGovern's lived on Roosevelt Street in the 4th Ward from 1849 till approx 1861. (I have found no trace of my NYC McGovern's after this point; they were in the 1860 census and the 1861 NYC directory).Their 3 sons all moved on to the state of Mississippi, 2 in 1852 and the last in 1869. John Cullen, ba 1800, and his wife Ally or Alice McDonough ba 1800, came from Co. Leitrim. John Cullen and his family stayed in NYC for a short time and where living in Lawrence, Mass by 1850. I am trying to locate the death records for the McGoverns that stayed in NYC. I have found Bridget's death record from Dec. 27, 1851. On the death record it said she was "Removed from City". I thought this probably meant she was buried at Calvary. I wrote Calvary and just this weekend found out she is not in their records.

Walter J. ROE was a bootmaker who was born in Dublin, Ireland c.1807. He arrived in the New York City area in 1826 with his wife Elizabeth HOLMES ROE who was born in Dublin c. 1807 and their daughter Mary E. ROE who was born in Dublin on 27 May 1821. Mary E. Roe m. Lt. John HILL who was born in Ogden, New York in 1817. The Marriage took place at St. Marys Church in NYC five days after the groom was mustered out of the 2nd New York Volunteers in August of 1849. They sold his Bounty Land Warrant and arrived in San Francisco at the end of 1849. Elizabeth C. ROE was born on 3 June 1836 in Brooklyn. She married M. J. WRIGHT. Other children were Amelia ROE born c.1839 and John ROE born c.1841. They were probably born in Brooklyn as the family was still living in Brooklyn at 222 Atlantic when they were enumerated for the 1860 census. Ken Davis Belmont, CA

Hi, My ancestor was Margaret Holihan (b. abt 1827) in Nova Scotia and arrived in Bklyn about 1836. She married first Lawrence HARROLD (1822-1848) and had one son James HARROLD (1846-1905). Then she married my ggg-grandfather, Patrick FLOOD and had 2 children John (1854-1901) & Catherine (1862-1899) who m. Henry LAKE. I have recently gained new information abt Margaret's HOLIHAN family. Her brother ( who very kindly left her $5,000 in his will ) was Thomas HOLIHAN (1806-1879), a contractor living at 283 Pacific St., Bklyn. A sister was also mentioned - Bridget O'Donnell (1815-?), who I have since discovered was first married to a Mr. SULLIVAN and had 2 girls - Bridget (b.1843) & Catherine (b.1845). A widowed Bridget then married Patrick O'DONNELL by 1850. Any one researching HOLIHAN (HOLAHAN, HOULIHAN) or FLOOD in Bklyn ? Does anyone have an ancestor born in Canada who traveled to NY before 1850 ? How did they arrive ? by ship ? overland ? Any ideas welcome, Kathy Then

My husband's great-grandfather was Patrick McDONALD, born 19 Nov 1841 in County Cavan and died 1 Nov 1918, buried in St. John's Cemetery in Queens. Before his marriage, he was a bartender for a Patrick KENNAN in Manhattan and lived on East 7th Street. According to family lore, he immigrated first to Canada and then to NYC. Patrick McDONALD's siblings were John, born abt 1839 in County Cavan, later a member of the NYPD; Frank, born about 1843; Bridget, born about 1845, married LEWIS; and Rose, born about 1847, married LAWLOR. Patrick McDONALD married Ann Catherine LEDDY on 14 Jun 1885. He and wife Ann later lived in Richmond Hill, Queens. She was born 8 Mar 1854 on a farm in Ridgewood, Queens, and died 9 Sep 1935. Their children were: Francis Joseph [my husband's grandfather] born 7 Jul 1886 and died about 1935 [more below]; Thomas Patrick born 2 Jul 1889, died 31 May 1915; Mary Elizabeth, born 2 Jul 1889 and died in her 90s; Catherine/Kathryn Anne born 27 Dec 1890 and died 22 Jun 1952; and Anne/Anna Marie born 6 Jun 1893 and died 1975. Ann Catherine LEDDY's parents were Patrick LEDDY and Catherine/Catrine McCARTHY. Patrick was born 17 Mar 1822 in County Cavan, died 19 Oct 1894 in a road accident on Metropolitan Avenue [family rumor says it was 'no accident']. He immigrated about 1845 and worked on a farm in what is now Flushing, Queens (Union Tpke and Vleigh Rd). His wife Catherine worked on the same farm. Catherine McCARTHY was born 16 Dec 1821 in County Kerry and died 14 Dec 1906. They were married 8 Feb 1852 at St. Peter's Church on Barclay St., NYC. The couple later bought the farm where they worked and did quite well selling butter to the govt during the Civil War. Their children were Ann Catherine [above], Daniel born 2 Mar 1856 and died 29 Feb 1940; and Thomas Patrick born 8 Sep1858 and died 15 Mar 1925. Catherine McCARTHY had a brother John and a sister Mary. John was born about 1815 in County Kerry and immigrated before the girls. He died 12 Jun 1882. Mary died Jun 1916 in NYC. Francis Joseph McDONALD [above] married Ruth O'MEARA, born about 1890 and died 1963. She was the daughter of Thomas O'MEARA and Adella/Della HIGGINS. Thomas worked at Masterson's blacksmith shop in Brooklyn. Della was from Waterford, Ireland, immigrated about 1860, and her father's name may have been Edward. Her father was allegedly a close friend of the author William Makepeace Thackeray, and there may be some military connection to India.

Jeremiah CASSIDY married Catherine NUGENT in Philadelphia in 1889. Their children: Thomas, Annie, James and Ellen. They moved to Red Hook, Brooklyn, around 1905. Jerry & Kate both died in 1908 and the kids were sent back to Philly, except for Thomas. Thomas married Mary LYNCH in 1912. Their children: Martha, James and Thomas Jr. Thomas Sr disappears around 1920. Would appreciate any help in locating him!!! (He's my grandfather.) Related surnames: GUNDERSEN, LYNCH, GUCKIN.

Lawrence CALLAGHAN/CALLAHAN & Mary ? , of Cork had the following (known) child: Charles, b abt. 1860. Charles married Ellen BROOKS/BROOKES in the city of Cork in 1881.

They had the following children: Lawrence b 1881, Peter b 1883 (both in Cork), John b 1884, Mary Ellen b 1885, Catherine b 1888 and John b 1890. (All dates approximate, except for Larry & Peter.) The family moved to NYC around 1885 and settled on Washington Street. They were *very* poor. Charles died in 1892. I don't know where he's buried - I believe Calvary. Related surnames: JOHNSON, LYNCH, GLEASON Ellen married William COOGAN around 1896 and they moved to the Brooklyn Heights area. The children from this marriage: Johanna/Hannah b 1900 and Lillian b 1898. Ellen died in 1902 and is buried in Holy Cross. I have no idea what happened to William COOGAN, as he isn't buried with Ellen. Related surnames: POSEY, PAYNE

Joseph Edward LYNCH, b 1871 Dublin, moved to Darlington, Durhamshire in the late 1870s. He emigrated to Canada with his brother Patrick in 1885 - landing in Halifax. He married Emma WEST/POTTS in Canada abt. 1887. Don't know if they met on board ship or in Canada. Their children: Lucia b 1889 (Canada), Mary b 1893, Thomas b 1895, James b 1901, Emily b 1907 and Margaret b 1912. The family (with Patrick LYNCH in tow) went to Plymouth, Luzerne County, PA around 1891 and then on to Brooklyn around 1897. Rumor is Patrick LYNCH went to Australia. Joe & Emma settled in Red Hook, Brooklyn until the 1930s. They are buried in St. John's. Related surnames: SHELLY/SHELLEY, CASSIDY, CUMMINGS, CONNELLY, SHEFFIELD and NOONAN.

Michael LARKIN & Mary REGAN of Roscommon had the following (known) children: Bridget, John and Michael. John LARKIN (b circa 1860) emigrated to NYC (with sister Bridget) around 1881. He married Mary ? and they moved to the Brooklyn Heights area. Their children: John Jr, Elizabeth (Lizzie) and Mary. Lizzie and Mary married and moved to NJ. Have no idea what happened to John Jr. We believe this family eventually moved out to Bay Ridge. Have no idea when John Sr died or where he's buried - probably Holy Cross. Related surnames to this family: FORGASH, CORONA Michael LARKIN (b abt 1865) emigrated to NYC in 1891 with his wife, Bridget ?. John paid for the voyage. Michael settled in Brooklyn Heights (next door to John) until after 1900. Michael's children: James, Mary and Michael. Have only recently discovered Michael, so I know nothing about him. Don't know when he died or where he's buried. The above LARKIN families are rumored to have had relatives in Brewster, Putnam County, NY. They supposedly owned a huge farm. I don't know if or how the upstate LARKINS are related to my family. Take care, Tracy

Bernard LYNCH, b circa 1831 Ireland (possibly Tuam, Galway), emigrated to NYC around 1882 with son Martin (b circa 1862).

Related surnames to this family: CALLAGHAN/CALLAHAN, OSBORNE, McNICHOLS. Take care, Tracy

Looking for the parents of my great grandmother, Mary Ellen Riley, of Brooklyn NY. Her parents were Margaret Egan and Edward Riley, both, I believe, born somewhere in Ireland. Mary Ellen married Charles D. Knight and had 5 children, Frank, Lynn, Luella, Clara and Anna (my grandmother.). Mary Ellen had a sister Annie Riley who married John Slater. Most of them lived in the NYC,Brooklyn, LI area. Mary Ellen and Charles and the children attended St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Brooklyn, though Mary Ellen was, I believe, a Catholic by birth. I was wondering if anyone knew of the birthplace of Margaret and Edward, their marriage place, date of emigration, etc. Is there still a St. Thomas Episcopal Church still in Brooklyn? Thanks so much.

Peter HAYDEN or HADEN was born in Ireland about 1815 - 1820. He immigrated to NYC about 1830. He married Mary MALLEN - they lived in the 15th & 16th wards of Manhattan. Known children born to this couple were: Francis (known as Frank) 1844, Ann 1846 & Patrick 1848. Frank Hayden served in the Civil War. He married Annie FAHEY / FAY. She'd been born at Netley Park, Co Mayo, Ireland in 1845 to parents Terrence FAHEY & Hannorah KANE. Siblings were: Patrick, Catherine & Ellen FAHEY - all born in Ireland. Annie FAHEY's mother Hannah also came to NYC, but I've nothing to suggest that her father ever did. Annie's brother Patrick FAHEY also served in the Civil War . The family lived in the East 20s - near 2nd Ave in the 1870s. Later moved further uptown -and eventually to Douglaston, Queens.

My grandfather John DINEEN b. in Ireland April 1870, emigrated to the US in 1889, siblings were Patrick, Timothy, and Margaret, who married James Armstrong. John m. Elizabeth CUNNINGHAM in 1897. They had four children in Brewster, NY. All DINEEN siblings emigrated to the US in the time frame 1886-1894, except one sister, Mary, who remained in Ireland. John's parents were Timothy DINEEN and Honora KELLY. DINEEN siblings settled in Brewster, NY where they were dairy farmers. John Dineen gave 328 E. 70th Street in Manhattan as his address in 1905. Also was address of Elizabeth CUNNINGHAM's sister Bridget. Still trying to find out John DINEEN's birthplace in Ireland, and date and place of his marriage to Elizabeth CUNNINGHAM. Thanks for any leads. James Dineen Burden

Hi Regina, I rarly see the name Finan but that's one I'm trying to find info on. I have a Bridget Finan who married James McCaffrey in Ireland. My great grandfather was born after 1845, James Thomas McCaffrey was born after 1845 so I would guess they were born circa 1820-1830. That's all the info I have on the Finan side of the family. I don't know if they came to the US with James Thomas or not. He emigrated about 1970 at about age 24 years.

In 1850 they were in NYC Ward 16 Dist. 2. The other problem is also Catherine's birth. I have a paper indicated she was born 1849. Her death record indicates 1850, Her marriages (2) along with census indicates 1852. So the parents above in the 1850 census could be wrong....but it is the only one found that matches completely with the fact she is listed 7/12 months old and that goes with Dec. 1849. If anyone can find them in the 1860 that would be great. So far I haven't. Thanks.
