Looking for information on John CUMMINS/CUMMINGS and his family. John was born somewhere in Ireland about 1823. He married Ellen O’BRIEN/BRYAN b 1825. Ellen was originally from Ballindangan, Glanworth, Co Cork. I do not know whether John and Ellen O’BRIEN CUMMINS were married in Ireland or in Rhymney area of Wales, but think they were married in Ireland. John worked in the Rhymney Iron Works. They settled and lived in 13 Furnace Row Rhymney where they raised their family starting in 1845 with daughter Ellen; Michael 1853, Richard 1857, Andrew 1859, John 1862 and Nora/Honora 1863. The CUMMINS were members of the Church of the Immaculate Conception Tredgar. Their daughter Ellen CUMMINS married Patrick SULLIVAN from St. John’s Catholic Church in Rhymney in 1863. It appears the family was therefore in Wales from at least 1845-1865. The CUMMINS/CUMMINGS family immigrated to the US and first settled in Hastings on the Hudson where daughter Catherine CUMMINGS was born in 1865. The CUMMINGS family settled in the Old Forge, Minooka, Taylor areas of Scranton, Pennsylvania. Looking for any suggestions and information. I have developed an extensive data base of Irish in and around the Scranton area and I am willing to exchange information. Please contact me at wsullivw@aol.com Walton J.
