In 1870 they were in St. Louis with Mary (age 10), and these children all born in Missouri - Sarah 8, Lizzie 4, James 7 and Kate 1, but Tom & Bridget's ages were both 35 years old. Bridget died 13 Dec 1877 apparently due to suicide. In 1880 Thomas (now shown with birthdate 1835)with his children plus his nephew John Roony born 1864 in Illinois and neice Maggie born 1872 in Illinois. In 1900, Thomas (immig. 1850 and NA) is on the Census on Easton Ave. in St. Louis living with his son James (b. Nov. 1865 MO). I have ordered various official records trying to find out the maiden name of Bridget, Thomas's wife but have been unsuccessful so far. I am trying to find the specific connection between Thomas Brennan and his Roony niece & nephw. Can anyone give me any help?
