Searching for feuding families!
Hi everyone!I am new to geneology, so please forgive me ahead of time!I am searching for the town and any information regarding my great grandparents, Mary Connors and James Patrick Murphy.I know they were from County Kerry; they wanted to marry, the families would not allow it.Thus, Mary left for Boston, Massachusets near the turn of the century.(my grandmother was born in 1917, so must have been before then)Patrick followed soon after.They married and moved to Binghamton, NY.I am not sure if they married in Binghamton or Boston.According to my grandmother's sister, Kathryn, on a visit to County Kerry in the 1970s (?) the families still do not speak to one another, and the young man who drove her to the other family's home would not leave the car, but politely waited for her to complete her visit.
Ok, that's the info I have.If anyone has any information, or can direct me where to look, I would appreciate it.It is possible that Mary's last name was O'Connor, or just Connor.As you may know, last names were mangled here in the states during immigration.Thanks for your help!
Yvonne
