Hi Donna,
My Patrick McCarron died 1898, Worcester MA and we believe he was born in Co. Donegal Ireland circa 1834. According to his death certificate his parents were Andrew McCarron and Mary McLaughlin. I question his mother's name as this is also the mother's name on his wife's (Catherine Faulkner) death certificate. Catherine (Faulkner) McCarron died 1892 in Worcester MA and was born in Ireland circa 1841. On her death certificate her parents are listed as Edward Faulkner and Mary McLaughlin. Lately, my search has led me to believe that Patrick and Catherine entered the U.S. by way of Canada (? PEI) and were first in NY--I haven't verified any of this, as of yet. So far I have been able to determine 3 of their children--my great grandmother Margaret (married name Hughes-she got married 1883 in Worcester MA), Mary (married name Curran), Susan/Suzanna whose married name was (?) Laverty. These sisters were born circa 1860. There was also at least one other sister whose married name was Hennigan. I have come across an Andrew McCarron born 1855, Prince Edward Island, living in Worcester MA 1880--it seems to have been common practice to name the first son after the paternal grandfather--so I think this may be Patrick and Catherine's son and brother to the above mentioned sisters. Let me know if you also have come acroos any of these names.
