I am attempting to trace family relatives whom I believe may have settled in the NYC area from 1910 onward. My relative's name was Mart Anne Murtha and she is believed to have married a John Weir. Both individuals were from the parish of Drumgoon.Cootehill is in this parish.
John Weir was supposedly the eldest member of the Weir family, the youngest being Josephine Weir. Josephine married Peter Fitzpatrick (married in Caldry, Cootehill, Co Cavan) and are supposed to have settled in the NY area.
I am hoping that if I can trace Josephine's present relatives that she may help me locate information on John & Mary Anne.
Do you think the Peter Fitzpatrick that I refer to above is the brother of your grandfather Patrick.I also know that Peter had other brothers Hugh, Frederick, George, William and Alfred.
