County Cork help please.
I know of Bridget Doherty born in Feb 1861 in Co Cork to Neil Doherty and his wife Mary Coats.I know Bridget m John F O'Donnell born Dec 1854.They married in Co Donegal at Sacred Heart Church in Cardonagh in Jan 1881, and immigrated to MA(settled in Stoneham first then Boston's North End) Had a total of 9 children.
John F was the son of John O'Donnell and Elizabeth Carney.
I know that Bridget had two sisters Ellen and Mary born aprox 1860-1862 time frame.(Think Bridget was the middle daughter)What I would like to find out is
Did they immigrate?If so where to and when?
Did they marry? If so to whom, where and when?
Did they have children.?
Awhile back I think I read in another message somewhere that there was an Ellen and Bridget that came to US on the SS Austrian around 1883.Could these be my Ellen and Mary?
Anyway to find out.If parents were Neal and Mary Coats Doherty from Co Cork they very well should be mine?
Also I would like to find out if Neal and Mary Coats O'Donnell immigrated.--to Boston.I read somewhere that there was a Neal and Mary Coats that immigrated prior to or in 18?? and died in Boston in 1878. But I don't know if these were mine or not.
Similarly I'd like to know if John O'Donnell and Elizabeth Carney immigrated etc?
Joh F had two brothers. Peter, whom I know nothing about --yet--maybe one day.and Patrick born in 1844.It seems like a big gap(especially for Irish families--back then I think ) so I'm wondering if there could have been other children between Patrick 1844 and John F 1854(Dec) and if so who they may have been.
I know I'm asking a lot here. DO NOT expect one person to anwer all, but hope some of the above questions can be answered by some kind folks out there.
There is a cousin connection between the families in Co Cork and my grandmothers's family in Co Donegal, theres no doubt about this, question is which side (or perhaps both) the cousin connection is on. My grandmothers parents were James O'Donnell(1845) and Susan Doherty(1845). Married July 5 1866 in Carndonagh at the Sacred Heart Church.One day I'd like to know where and when they died. if they ever immigrated to MA(I have an old picture of both of them--not together--but don't know where it was taken or when--I suspect at least the one of James was taken in Salem, because it looks a lot like the yard of my grandmothers house in Salem MATheir other children were:
Patrick 1867
John 1868 immig to MA m Bridget Long lived in Salem MA
Neal(neil) 1871 immig to Ma m Rose McGonigal lived in the
Everett Ma area
Mary Ann 1873* immig m Patrick Bradley May 10 1864, on April 17 1902 in Dorchester(boston) at St Peter's.
Maggie 1875
Denis 1878 immig to Ma m Catherine McLaughlin lived in Everett with 3 sons James 1906 Michael 1907 and John 1912.
and Phlip 1880 who immig to Ma in 1897 m Ellen Noon.
Sorry to be so long winded here, but any help with any of my questions would be appreciated.
Thank you all so very much.
