Hi there, Was just wondering; I to have FARRELL'S, originally from IRE, settling in Blackstone, MA about 1850/1855, with the parents along with their children, later moving over to Providence, RI around 1900. I always suspected the father, Thomas Farrell, had other kin already in the MA/RI vicinity, but never could substantiate this. I wonder if you had any info on Thomas and his family as well. Would love to hear from you. Don Avery Massachusetts >>> [email protected] 11/08/01 05:24PM >>> I have just found some new information, and added about 16 FARRELL names to my family file. I would love to talk with anyone who knows of, or has information about this family. Parents: EDWARD FARRELL, Blacksmith, b. ca 1804-1810 in Ireland. May have died in Providence in 1890. His wife was ANNE MULGREW, b. ca 1813-1817, died in Providence in 1883. Seems there were a bunch of children -- 14 maybe. In the 1850 Census Edward and Ann were living in Pawtucket Bristol Co. MA with these children: Margaret 19, Ire John 17, Ire, Dye house Michael 14, Ire Edward 13, MA Mary A 11, MA Peter, 8 MA Terence 6, MA Alexander 4, MA In 1880, Edward and Ann were in Providence Ward 8 on Howard St. with children: Kate, 28, RI Nellie, 24, MA James, 22 RI Three children died in Pawtucket, Bristol Co MA: Francis Farrell, 28 Nov 1848, 7 yrs. 7 months Isabella Farrel., 10 May 1848, 11 months Elizabeth Farrell, 11 August 1849, 7 months.
