Father John R. Fogarty and sister Margaret Fogerty - Ireland to Iowa
Seeking any and all info on Catholic Priest Father John R. Fogarty and his sister Margaret Fogarty.
Father John R. Fogarty was born c1850 in Ireland; ordained in Ireland in 1874 and immigrated to the U.S. on 6 Oct 1874.
He served the communities of Kellogg, Newton and Dubuque. He was Parish Priest of St. Columbkille's in Dubuque from 9 Jun 1887 until his death on 20 Oct 1910.
Margaret Fogarty his sister must have been quite a bit younger than her brother--1900 and 1910 census gives a date range of May 1872 to 1878. Believe she must have therefore outlived her brother by numerous years. I cannot locate her in the 1920 and 1930 census records. If you can assist with a date of death for Margaret or the names of her parents I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.

P.S.Father Fogarty and his sister Margaret Fogarty had 4 cousins who were also all priests all born in Ireland:
Denis Shanahan b c1844 d 28 Jun 1924 Limerick City
Timothy Shanahan b c1829 d 14 May 1915 Limerick City
Patrick Shanahan b ? d ?
Gerald Augustine Shanahan b ? d 1919 Thornaby-on-Tees ENG
Timothy and 2 of his brothers (probably Denis and Patrick) are buried in same tomb in middle of Mt. St. Lawrence Cemetery, Limerick City, County Limerick Ireland.
Who were the parents of these 4 Shanahan brothers?
