John Quinn b Jun 1877NY & bro.Thomas Quinn b Sept 1884
Hello.
These two fellows, John Quinn b June 1877 NY & his brother Thomas Quinn b Sept 1884 NY were nephews of my gg-gm Maria [Quinn] Flynn, born Nov 1833 in Ireland and died May 1, 1910 in Brooklyn, NY, believe she imm. to US c. 1853, m. c. 1857 [assume in Brooklyn] to James Flynn b Dec 1827 Ireland, imm. to US c. 1854; he died Jan 30, 1901 Brooklyn, NY.
My gg's were living in Brooklyn, NY for 1860 census and at that time Maria's sister, Margaret Quinn, b.c. 1839 in Ireland was living with them, working as a dressmaker.
We only learned of Maria's 2 nephews since they were living with James Flynn & wife Maria [Quinn] Flynn on 1900 census in Brooklyn, NY.John Quinn was a RR conductor then and his brother Thomas Quinn was an apprentice carpenter. As yet, we do not have the name for Maria's brother "unknown Quinn" who was the father of these 2 boys nor any info about what happened to their parents but we're working on it.
John & Thomas Quinn's grandfather was named JAMES QUINN b. Ireland and we assume he died in Ireland. We do not have a name yet for James Quinn's wife, i.e. the boys grandmother.
If you recognize either John Quinn or his brother Thomas Quinn, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks.
Mary Lou
