    1. [NJESSEX] [W] WINN (WYNN) - Newark (1840-1900)

    3. Hi, I am looking for Honora "Nora" WINN (or WYNN or other spellings), born about 1827 in Ireland and died after 1880 probably in New Jersey. She was the daughter of William WINN. She and Michael DONNELLY (about 1822-1850), also from Ireland, had a son, Thomas John DONNELLY (1849-1928) who was christened in 1849 at Saint John Catholic Church in Newark. Michael died at age 28 of dysentery on East River Road in Newark when baby Thomas was only about a year old. Baby Thomas was raised by Mary and John DARDIS in Madison County, New York. I think Nora WINN, still living in Essex County, New Jersey, then married Elisha WILLIAMS (about 1820-before 1880), and they had a son, Terrance WILLIAMS (born about 1854). I have so many questions about Nora Winn. Were Nora and Michael married? Where in Ireland were they from? Who was Nora's mother? What was Nora's relationship to the DARDIS family who raised her son Thomas? Who was Elisha WILLIAMS? Did Thomas and Terrance know of each other's existence? Are there any photos of Nora? Where is she buried? Was Michael really buried in a mass grave associated with Saint John's? I appreciate any help, ideas, or leads. Thanks, Sharlotte Donnelly donnelly@one.net http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/d-o/n/Sharlotte--N-Donnelly
