Quinns from County Mayo, Ireland

I am also beginning to search for a Quinn family from County Mayo. Our ancestor was George Quinn, born 1848 (+/- 1 year). In 1901 he was living in Tunstall, Staffordshire running his own grocery. He married an Elizabeth born in Leominster, Hereforshire. There marraige was some time 1881 or before. They had 6 children: Mary, George, Thomas, John, James P, and Elizabeth. Residing with them was a Mary Mulroy, also from County Mayo, so could be a relative? His son John emigrated to the US in 1906. He initially lived with a cousin, Bertha Carney and eventually settled in Troy Ohio. Let me know if any possible connection to your Quinns! Thanks!
