Patrick Ryan and Mary Toughy of New York
Patrick md. Mary Toughy abt 1876 (in Ireland?).Both Patrick and Mary were born in Ireland abt 1840.According to the 1880 US Census they were living in New York City, New York with their 5 children. 1)John brn. 1877, 2)Mary A. brn 1878 3)William brn. 1873 4)Josephine brn 22 Sept 1874, 5)Michael J. brn 1875. All the children were born in New York City, New York. Josephine later married James Halkyard (Halkard) of Lancashire, England and settled in New York and later in New Jersey. I have no further info on the children (other than Josephine's) or their parents. Family legend says they're from Tipperary and the family lines have been traced to there but the research has been lost. One of the boys may have died in the Flat Iron Building in 1902 - the day it was finished. Can you help?
