Hi Peggy, Your letter was addressed to Eileen, but since I haven't seen any other CHATHAM posts, I'm going to claim it for myself. :-) The names are indeed very similar with only the birthdate being off by six years. I don't think that's a whole lot to worry about from those days, they seemed to skip around with their birth dates a lot. I am definitely going to keep this on file as this is the first I've seen a Joseph Chatham married to a Catherine. I'll be checking the Chathams now to see if I can possibly work in those other names. Thanks so much for the information ... I feel so helpless sitting here in California. I subscribed to the census from Ireland and UK, but the earliest from Ireland was 1891 and my folks would have been long gone by then ... possibly swimming since I can't find them on a ship. I'll keep looking though as I'm ready for another thrill like the one I got when I discovered they were buried just about an hour and a half from where I live! It was a very emotional moment when I was able to put flowers on their grave! Thanks again, Gail Vacaville, CA

Joseph Chatham may have been married twice has this thought occurred to any of you ? as I have one Joseph fitting the time frame but not married to a Catherine ....... Maybe her name was ? Catherine and you will see my other posting re Lord Hamilton Cheers Cara ----- Original Message ----- From: <DUNCHIGH@aol.com> To: <IRL-WICKLOW-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, July 03, 2005 5:07 PM Subject: Re: [Wicklow] Re: IRL-WICKLOW-CHATHAMS > > In a message dated 7/2/2005 7:39:09 PM Pacific Daylight Time, > WeadickResearch@aol.com writes: > > This is a real longshot, but I send these only because all the names in > your > post are mentioned here....But the Joseph below was born earlier than > your > Joseph.
