It's probably a long shot, but could someone with access look up Thomas Flanagan, spouse Mary Ann Flanagan nee Woods? I know they were in NY by Nov. of 1876, because that's when the one child of theirs I know of was born in Manhattan, but I have no idea how long they'd been in the US before that. If I makes a difference, we think that Mary was English (from Liverpool), not Irish. Thanks!
