Mary: Many Thanks for taking the time to look that up. I found that same record sometime ago and it could be the right one. Only one difference, in the 1900 Census, her age was listed as 58 making her birthyear circa 1842. In the 1880 Census, the Mary Quinn listed gives her age as 45, making her birthyear circa 1835, a 7 year difference. I know Census takers make mistakes and people aren't always truthful but? Everything else matches, Peter's age and her birthplace, Ireland. Again Thanks for your response, Brian -----Original Message----- From: Mary Zatorski [mailto:mzatorsk@suffolk.lib.ny.us] Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 8:59 PM To: NYQUEENS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [QUEENS] Peter Quinn, Queens NY This is the closest I could find.
