Have not posted in a while and still looking for place of birth for my elusive FARRELLS. I have a Lawrence Farrell born between in 1825 and 1830 in Ireland. He emigrated between 1851 and 1855 and settled in Newark, NJ. There might have been Farrell relatives in Jersey City at the same time and he might have been there for a brief time. Lawrence is the son of Michael Farrell and either Sarah or Catherine Farrell. Lawrence married a Mary Selby in St. Patrick's Pro Cathedral in Newark, in January of 1856. They had a total of 9 children that survived. Michael, Mary, John, Lawrence Jr., Thomas, James, John, Edward and William -- all born between 1856 and about 1870. I know what happened to Mary, Lawrence Jr., and Thomas. A few of the other sons died at a young age. Does anything sound familiar or does anyone know where these Farrells are from? I have checked County Roscommon in Ireland and County Longford and there are no records on any of the family. I now (thanks to an older cousin) am waiting for a response from County Cork. Thanks for any help. Judy
