Hi, I am new to the list. I am looking for any information on Kirwans that settled in the Towanda/Wilkes Barre/ Scranton/ Sayre/Athens area in Pennsylvania. My grandmother's name was Alice Kirwan-Kenrick. She lived in Sayre, PA since her marriage in 1925. I know she had a brother named Louis, a sister named Helen (Nell) and several other brothers and sisters (2 of whom died in the influenza in 1919). My grandmother was born December 1, 1896, and married a man named Thomas Kenrick of Towanda. I know that her mother's name (my great-grandmother) was Bridget (i think her last name was Fenn or some derivative), and that my grandmother lived on a farm in the hills around Towanda and with an aunt in Ithaca, NY, until her marriage. I also know that bother her mother and father (whose name I cannot remember) both had over 10 siblings. According to a family history being done by a cousin whose last name is Elliot, the Kirwans came from Tipperary Ireland. I am not sure that this is accurate as there is no reliable information that pre-dates my great-grandmother and great-grandfather. I would appreciate any information that anyone could give me. Thanks! Mary Schaffer
