    3. I am researching Peter GOLDRICK who was born in Ireland abt. 1825 and who died in Cleveland May 10, 1886. He served on the Cleveland City Council from the 7th Ward in 1863-64 and from the 5th Ward in 1875-76. In spite of his service on the Council, I am finding surprisingly little information on him. I know that he was active in the Irish community at that time. I've been reading through the Plain Dealer for 1876 (it's fascinating reading) and found a reference to his daughter Mary singing at a St. Patrick's Day celebration and a later reference to his brother, Owen, being appointed to the position of Assessor for the 5th Ward, but very little on Peter. Someone in Cleveland told me that there might have been an Irish newspaper in Cleveland at that time. Can anyone tell me if this is so and what the name of the paper might be? Thanks. Janet in NJ
