My great grandmother left Ireland with a cousin, probably from the port of Cork. It is said she was born and lived in Dublin. They probably came to the Port of Boston. I have not been able to find a ship that she could have come on. Margaret married Nathaniel Sherman Northup(1831 - 1894). Margaret O'Connell was born in 1838 and died 1880. Any information or suggestions would be welcome. Thank you. Arlene Clarke Haddock __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Arlene~ If your great grandmother was born & lived in Dublin City, why do you think she sailed from Cork City or a port in County Cork? That is traveling from one side of the country to the other at a time when land travel was not all that comfortable or easy. In what year or approx. year did she emigrate?

You would need to have an idea about when she arrived and who she might have been with on arrival to narrow down the many choice for the name Margaret O"Connell. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arlene Haddock" <mahaddock@yahoo.com> To: <NEW-ENGLAND-IRISH@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2007 3:39 PM Subject: [NEW-ENGLAND-IRISH] Margaret O'Connell or Connell > My great grandmother left Ireland with a cousin, > probably from the port of Cork.

Arlene, What town did Margaret and Nathaniel settle in? Do you know their marriage date and/or location?

Update to first email. Thanks for the response and comments. I went back and searched all the records that I have. I have all the census records so do not need them. >From a marriage record 22 March 1858 at the age of 18: She was born in Cork, Ireland. Her parents were Patrick and Catherine Connell. Calculated from her death record of 30 Aug 1885, she was born 30 Aug 1839. If she left Ireland at age 16 or 17, she would have left in 1855 or 1856. Margaret came into the state of R.I. and worked as a domestic. I don't think she did this for long before she married. Her cousin stayed in Boston, MA. It is possible that her father Patrick came to R.I., as a man named Patrick CONNOR by state census record of 1865 is living with them at one point but is not listed on any other census record for them. He was 48. I hope this helps. Thanks Arlene Clarke Haddock --- Arlene Haddock <mahaddock@yahoo.com> wrote: > My great grandmother left Ireland with a cousin, > probably from the port of Cork.

Arlene, Have you looked up all of the cousin's possible records? Or people who have traveled to visit and stay with the cousin? Her roots will be the same as Margaret's, more than likely. Have you looked up each child's birth record, for your Margaret and for the cousin? Birth places might be mentioned for the mothers, if you are lucky. Did her death record say she was born in County Cork or in Dublin or just Ireland? Have you visited the free Castle Garden web site to search for Margaret and the cousin in the passenger lists? Do you have access to Ancestry.com, and have you looked at the passenger lists there? We'll keep chipping away at it!
