Patrick and Honora McElroy
I am researching a branch of my maternal side family. They are Patrick and Honora (Nora) McElroy. Patrick was born March 17, 1823 and came from Lisburn, Country Antrim, Ireland. His wife Honora was born April 4, 1826 in Ireland. They seemed to have left Ireland around 1850-51 for North America, first to New Brunswick, then Vermont, before finally settling in Wisconsin. The 1860 census lists two children born in Ireland - Dennis Dunham b. abt 1848 and Ellen Dunham b.abt 1856. I speculate that Dunham could possible have been Honora McElroys maiden name and that these children may have been her nephew and niece. A daughter Elizabeth was born in Ireland abt 1848. If anyone can help with knowledge of this McElroy family or Dunham family, I would very much appreciate the sharing of your research. Thank you.
