Hi Linda,
I am new to this website and just today saw your message re Edward Hillen.
My great grandfather was John Hillen born in Banbridge, County Down, Ireland in 1843.He married a Margaret (Hillen?) in 1867.She was also born in 1843, probably in Banbridge, as well.The parish they were residing in in 1871 was Seapatrick.They had two children in Ireland, Agnes (born 1869) and Robert (born 1871).They had another 3 children (at least) in the US, Margaret, my grandmother (1885), Susan (1875)and Nellie (unk).Some time between 1871 and 1875 they emigrated to the US, eventually settling in the Paterson/Newark, New Jersey area.
Unfortunately, that is all the info I have on them.Does this sound like any member of your Hillen collection?
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Bob Gallagher
