Dear readers I have just subscribed to your mailing list and would like to make you acquainted with my Irish/New York research - perhaps someone may see a connection. The family I am researching is that of William Tobin who was born in 1853 in Tipperary, widowed in 1905 and by 1907 had emigrated to New York. His family, all born in Tipperary, are as follows: John Joseph born 1882 married Mary T Donohoe in 1921 - issue Mary & Anna possibly twins born 1925 ( Fireman New York City Fire Department) Ellen/Nellie born 1883 married Patrick Richard Flynn in 1905 - issue Joseph P born 1906, Mary E born 1910 and Irene born 1914 Katherine born 1884 - not sure yet whether married or single Jeffery born 1888 married Katherine G Gormley in 1916, second marriage to Viola West possibly in Passaic, New Jersey. - issue by first marriage Annie J born New Jersey 1919.
