Sorry, this isn't our family.Thomas and his brother William were both orphans, sent from London to Canada in 1886 as home children.They had no Driscoll relatives in the US other than themselves and their own children.Their father was Henry Driscoll b. Ireland and died probably in England sometime before 1880.Their mother was Catherine Home Driscoll who is shown on the 1881 census in London in a homeless poor shelter working as a charwoman.I guess she just couldn't support the children.The boys left Canada as soon as they turned 18 and came to Michigan.
