    3. Hi Eleanor, I'd just like to mention that my gr-gr-grandmother was born Eliza RITCHIE in County Donegal, Ireland. She married William HANNAH who was also born in "Donegal." But, they married in Glasgow, Scotland, ~1855. They had 2 daughters there and then migrated to MA / US in 1857. My gr-grandmother was 3 mos. old when they arrived. William and Eliza had several more children after arriving. I have the names of Eliza's parents, but nothing else on them, so I don't know if Eliza had siblings. I'm told the HANNAH and RITCHIE couples probably migrated back and forth (together) between Ireland and Scotland looking for work ~1800-1820. Betty (near Lowell, MA) (Just an FYI: When Elizabeth HANNAH grew up, she married William KERR. He had been born in the Prov. of Quebec ~1850. His parents were born there in 1827, and their parents had arrived as a family-group in 1823. The KERR's / HENDERSON's had come from County Sligo, Ireland.)
