Thanks for the information.The info I do have on the sisters is Mary Ann was born in 1832, Catherine May 4, 1834, don't know if Anne was older or younger.I haven't found their passenger records yet but still looking, all I know is they arrived in California in 1858.They were born in County Aran, Galway, Parish of Inishmore and in Griffith's Valuation the placename is Kilmurvey.
Their parents were Daniel Flaherty and Margaret O'Donnell.They had a brother Anthony still living in their birthplace in 1872.I have a fair amount of family info in terms of names, who married who etc. thanks to a cousin in California.In letters from Ireland to California their mailing address is Gort na gCapall, North Island, Aran, Galway.Gort na gCapall being the village they lived in.
I have checked the Irish History Foundation databases and have found some records that may or may not be who I am looking for.That will be my next step, thanks for pointing me in that direction.
I will post my findings.
