Hi, This is a long shot. My maiden name was Harrington & I am the oldest of the four daughters of Charles Harrington & Ruth Kealy Harrington. My paternal grandfather was Thomas Joseph Harrington who married Lillian Byrnes in Poughkeepsie, NY in l899. My father was born in April l900 in NYC. They moved to East Orange NJ a few years later.Grandfather Thomas died in l907 & Lillian then moved back to Poughkeepsie & family.I believe that Thomas came to NY with his parents, just before Ellis Island was opened.The latter has a web site which might also give you some nuch needed info.Good luck.
