Hi Larry Thanks for the note. Maybe we can find a connection. My Mahons are also in Calvary. Patrick Mahon was b. in 1837 in east Galway to Martin Mahon and Bridget Donnellen. I've been there - visited the parish. After serving for 2 years in the Royal Irish Constabulary, Patrick went to someplace in England in the early 1860s. While in England, he and his wife, Mary Ann Murray, had 2 children, Martin and Mary. In 1871 they arrived in Brooklyn and settled in St V.'s parish.... and there they remained. My g'mother, Bridget / Delia, was born in 1872 and married my g'father, James Wood, in 1903 at St. V.'s. Patrick didn't have any brothers. However, when he arrived in Brooklyn he was living in the same building as his Donnellen cousin. Sooooo, there may have been Mahon cousins in the area that I haven't learned of. I find it interesting that we both have "Martin" in the family. Looking forward to hearing from you again.
