I'm primarily researching the Barry family. I have traced this particular line to James Barry born about 1814 and his wife Mary Bransfield born about 1818. Both came from Ireland and lived in MASS, CT, and then finally Lebanon, PA about 1855. Am trying to locate the naturalization papers and ship name of the emigrants as well as the name of their home in Ireland. Two children (that I know of) were born in Mass-Donald and Daniel. A son James was born in Hartford CT about 8 Nov 1848. This James married a Rose Connell 14 May 1849, born Cavair, Ireland daughter of John Connell and Margaret Reilly. If anyone has any connections to these families, I'd love to hear from them. Will be glad to reciprocate and share any info that I have gathered. Barb from PA

Peter DONNELLY was born about 1829, possibly in Magherafeld, Co. Londonderry, Ireland, and died in 1899 at age 70. His family were buried at St. Mary's Cemetery, Holliston MA. His wife was named Mary, according to US Censuses, and she was born in 1826. The inscription on her tombstone states that she was born in TUAM, CO. GALWAY. I have searched for the marriage record of this couple, but neither St. Mary's Church in Holliston MA, nor the Massachusetts Archives has any record of such a marriage in 1851 or in the 5 years prior to that year. She died 17 Dec 1881, in Holliston MA at age 55. I would like to find out her last name, in order to make some progress on her Irish birthplace. Children: ———————————————————————————————— Mary J.

KELLEHER John KELLEHER and Anne MULHERN took their family of at least one son, Michael to Scotland about 1842-45 during the potato famine.

Galway in 1849, first to Lancaster Co, PA, then to Rock Island Co., IL in 1857. MULHERN Patrick MULHERN and wife Ellen CHRISTY came from Co. Rosscommon to U.S. about 1870, with 6 children.

My GGgrandfather was Joseph Drummond born in 1805 or 1806 in Ireland, married Bridget McMullin (the spelling may not be correct) on August 29 1853 ( I question the date of birth that I have on Joseph.) I have reason to believe that one son " Joseph Drummond was born in Ireland and that Joseph and his wife and son immigrated to Montreal in in 1854 or 1855. A son Alexander was born in October 1855 in Montreal. James Drummond was born in Toronto on June 27 1857 and D Patrick Drummond was born in Peeth? I do not know where Letty Drummond was born (July 15,1860) My ggrandmother, Amelia Drummond was born in Cleveland, Ohio on Nov 1, 1862 Two other children, Mary and Annie Drummond were born in Cleveland. Mary married a Lockhart and Annie married a Harrington. Sure could use some help on this one. Frank Johnson in Melbourne, FL

I am at my wits end researching my gg grandmother, Margret CLANCY. She is listed on the NY marriage certificate as the mother of Elizabeth SIMONS-daughter of Margaret and George SIMONS. Elizabeth was born in Rochester (NY, I believe) and was 21 years of age when she married Ferdinand HANTKE, my g grandfather. That would put Elizabeth being born about 1839 so Margaret was born about 1809-1819 I presume. Elizabeth had two siblings that I know of, Mary J(ane) and Zachariah SIMONS. She listed 82 Delancy St as the residence at time of marriage which is where Ferdinand lived. I found on Mary J's death certificate that Margaret was born in USA, but on a census it stated Margaret (maternal parent) born in Ireland. I am quite sure she was born in Ireland. George was from Germany. Can anyone help me with this elusive Margaret CLANCY and see if you possibly might have a Margaret CLANCY in your trees or research. For some reason, I think he died and she remarried or that they divorced. Just a premonition. I know she lived in NY state, and children later lived in Brooklyn, and died there, and are buried in our family plot. However, I have NO idea where Margaret or George are buried. I do not know religion, occupation, or anything about them except the names of their children and what is on paper. I would not exclude NJ for a period of time, either. I think they must have lived in Rochester because that is where Elizabeth was born. However, George SIMONS is a common name and hard to narrow down. There were George SIMONS in Brooklyn on census, but none with a Margaret. I need to knock down this brick wall. Any and all help, or ideas, is more than appreciated. I am willing to reimburse for any help. Susan
