Fiona, The only information I have is that my mother said they were from County Kerry, probably the Killarney area. No more details than that in Ireland. I found the boat record in 1883 when they landed in Boston. It included Timothy and Bertha (age 3). I knew her as Bridgit, and later US Census records show her as Bridgit. They were Roman Catholic. Thank you for your reply. I know this is not a lot of information to go on.
