I now believe she COULD have been married to your John Joseph Sweeney, but the dates don't quite line up. Just came across evidence from newspaper that a Hannah Shay (sister of Rev. John Walsh of Troy) was buried from the residence of Mrs. John Sweeney, No. 4 Dallius Street, Albany and St. John's church. This occurred on 8 Aug 1892. This is definite, then, that my Mary Walsh was married to a John Sweeney. Other newspaper article (obit of Rt. Rev. Mons. John Walsh) shows that Mr. & Mrs. Joseph Sweeney of Albany survived him (Nov. 1919). I'm thinking Mary's husband's name perhaps is really John Joseph Sweeney. My Mary Walsh was born in Ireland and have record of her coming over with family in Dec 1851 when Mary was 1 year old. Where did you get your birthdate of 1844 for Mary? My info about Joseph would put him alive in 1916, when your's died. Do you have his death certificate? Let me know if this jibes! with any of your info. Saw your post of 2 pics on Ancestry.com under John Joseph. Is that your Mary Sweeney? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
