Judie, Thanks for responding. I don't see any obvious connection with your people. My great-aunt's sister was Bridget HAYES, born 1874 Jun 04 in Liscannor, Co. Clare, parents John Hayes and Margaret CLAIRE of Liscannor. Bridget was the sister of the Mary/Margaret Hayes I posted about here. Bridget emigrated to Boston in 1893. Known as Delia Hayes, she married Thomas BRENNAN in Lowell, MA, in 1899. They had sons Thomas, Walter, Arthur, and John, and lived in Lowell into the 1950s. Bridget-Delia apparently died in Lowell in 1952; her husband Thomas apparently died there in 1958. I've never come across the surname Mason in my research. And your people's forenames mostly differ from those of my Hayes. In the earliest record I have of the Liscannor families, the 1901 Irish census, my Hayes forenames were John, Martin, Patrick, Michael, Daniel, and James.
