This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wd3.2ACIB/995.1.1 Message Board Post: I probably owe an apology for my original message. To be more accurate, I am talking about William Nolan (I) and william Nolan (II). William (II) was born on Jan 8,1860 in Cork. He worked as a sailor and married Annie McHenry in Chicago USA on May 4, 1884. William (I) was from Cork. Mary Corbis according to Cook County Vital Statistics was the mother of William (II). Apparently William (I) was married to Mary Corbis but I do not know if she was the one and only and whether there were any other William (I) children. Because William (II) was born in 1860 I assumed that William (I) was living in 1850---about the time of Griffith's valuation. But here is my brick wall---I have to find cemetary records, death certificates,church records of birth marriage and death(God bless England).
