I'm hoping to find a birth or baptismal (R.C.) record for Mary A. McLaughlin, b. NB about May 1842. Her parents were JAMES McLAUGHLIN and MARY O'NEIL. Also, I wonder if James had any siblings who immigrated and remained in NB. James' parents were PATRICK and CATHERINE ( ) McLAUGHLIN. PATRICK McLAUGHLIN was born in Ireland about 1780 and may have immigrated to New Brunswick toward the end of the 1830s. I believe that Patrick had a brother, JOHN McLAUGHLIN (1797-1883) who was married to CATHERINE TRAINOR. The parents of Patrick and John were JOHN & CATHERINE ( ) McLAUGHLIN. Patrick's wife was "Catherine." I have no idea if she made the trip to N.B. Patrick's son, James and his wife Mary (O'Neil) had two children (Catherine and Patrick) born in Ireland in 1837 and 1838. The third daughter, Mary Ann, was born in New Brunswick in May 1842. By 1844-1850, at least some of the family was permanently residing in Providence, Rhode Island. The family at that time included: Patrick McLaughlin (1780-1861) his children James McLaughlin (1810-1862) m. Mary O'Neil Mary McLaughlin (1814-1874) m. James McLaughlin Francis McLaughlin (1820-1887) m. Mary Fanning-Lennon Catherine McLaughlin (1826-1870+) m. John McElroy Rosanna McLaughlin (1829-1857) m.
