There is a Mary Ready, born in Ireland and age 19 in the 1860 Census, who is living next door to Catherine Ready Shea. I strongly suspect these families are related. There is another Mary Ready, age approx. 17 in 1860, who is living very near these other Ready families. I am certain this family is also related, and this Mary could possibly be your ancestor if the age is not recorded accurately. Do you know any more about this family in Dayton or Ireland? Also, what information do you have that points to County Mayo? Thanks - your information could be very helpful to me. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
