I just found a little more information about my Donohue family, and thought I would post and see if anyone connects. I use the modern family spelling. Martin Donohue was born about 1830-33. His father`s names was John, and his mother was Bridget. Martin`s Civil War papers say he was born in Galway. I just found his first marriage record in Bury, Lancashire, England. He married Margaret Faragher 4 April 1853. Father and son were weavers by trade according to the record. Other Donohues found in Bury include Thomas (m. 1856) and John and his wife Mary, who had Patrick there in 1861. John, Mary, and their oldest child John (b. abt. 1857), were born in Ireland according to the 1871 & 81 censuses. I don`t know if any are family. Margaret Donohue died in Heywood, Lancashire, in Oct.1856 from asthma. Martin next shows up in Paterson, NJ, where he married Bridget Connolly in Aug. 1857. Martin and Margaret had no children; Martin and Bridget had Thomas, Martin, and Susan. I found the following: Given Name Surname ID County Hugh Donohoe 21153 Galway Thomas Donohoe 21190 Galway Thady Donahoe 21608 Galway Edward Donahoe 21731 Galway Flax growers Bounty List 1796. Thomas could be interesting. Take care, Kevin
