I have recently discovered that two of the children of William MCKENNA and Katherine LANDERS were born in Charlestown, Massachusetts. William and Catherine Landers McKenna were both born in Ireland. Their Children: John -born Ireland Jan. 4, 1845 (from Death Certificate and census records) Mary- born Scotland about 1846 (from census records) Robert-Christening: Charlestown, Suffolk, Massachusetts MAY 27 1847 (Christening and census) Catherine-Christening: Charlestown, Suffolk, Massachusetts MAR 12 1849 (Christening and census) Sarah- Born Cleveland abt 1855 (census) Joseph-born Cleveland abt 1858 (census) Peter-Born Cleveland 1860 (census) This family is in the Cleveland 1850 Census, so they left for Cleveland shortly after the birth of Catherine. It took five years to get from Ireland to Cleveland via Scotland and Massachusetts having 3 children along the way. What a life they must have had! They spent at least 2 years in Suffolk, before moving on to Cleveland. I'm wondering if they had a family connection there or just had to earn enough money to continue their move to Cleveland.
