hell-o from Mike Shea: My grandfather came from Ireland and lived in Windsor Locks Ct. That is where my father, uncle and three aunts lived until 1921 when they moved to Dalton Ma. They operated a sallon or bar called the Bee Hive. Interesting fact was the mortgage was taken out in Niantic Savings Bank. How and why there i do not know as it was 30 + miles to that town. My uicle - first born was born in Hartrford Ct the others in Windsor Locks. Anything you would like to share ?
