I am seeking contact with any members of the family or researchers familiar with Mary Anne O'Connell, b. and d. unknown, who was the wife of John Joseph White and gave birth to son John Joseph White in Dublin, Sept 1863. Mary Anne and her husband may have been "wealthy" Londoners living temporarily in Dublin and then Manchester in John Joseph Jr.'s "early years." It is also possible that Mary Anne was Irish, perhaps from Dublin, and married John Sr. while he was living there. Supposedly, John Jr. and a brother, name and birthday unknown, emigrated to Canada from Manchester sometime in the 1870s to finish their educations and pursue teaching careers. The brother died in Canada and John Jr. immigrated into the US in 1878 where he finished his education and set off for a teaching career in California. John Jr. became estranged from the family over his marriage to a French immigrant in Los Angeles in 1897, and thus no other information is available about Mary Anne. Frank White Colorado Springs
