Dave, I was able to find the marriage record for John F. Donovan and Ellen Clooney at NewEnglandancestors.org as June 24,1867 his parents being Michael Donovan and Ellen Fitzpatrick. Ellen's parents were listed as Andrew Clooney and Catherine (no maiden name). Ellen Clooney is listed a being born in St. John, NewFoundland, Canada. I could not find John's birth record at newenglandancestors. I did find his death record of July 7, 1900 living at 15 Chipman Street. I also noticed at Ancestry.com there are 2 0r more family trees listing this family. I don't know if they are your trees or not, but the family is definitely yours. One tree is called Hutch B I searched for Michael J. Donovan (brother of John) who married Bridget O'Brien. The other tree is listed as Costello Family tree again input Michael J. Donovan or the parents names Michael Donovan and Ellen Fitzpatrick.
