I am hyptothesizing that MARGARET MONGOVEN (Mungovan/Mongovan, etc.), immigrant from Ireland, was married at Lowell, sometime circa 1861. However, I do not know her husband's name. She had three children by him, two of them born in MA (Mary, b. Feb 1862...perhaps in Lowell???...and Catherine, b. circa 1864, likely in Lowell, too). Perhaps the Birth Records for Lowell for Feb 1862 could be searched for a girl named Mary, whose mother was Margaret. I have located her in the 1860 U.S. Census (misspelled as Margaret Mangaren) as a 20-year-old Irish servant, living in the home of William and Ursula Burroughs in Lowell. I would so greatly appreciate any assistance. Thank you. Sincerely, Jan Mongoven
