Seems we MAY just have a connection here Mark! The last time I posted, I mentioned the name of my great-great grandmother; Bridget Skahill Desmond. But, I only knew of two of her children at the time and didn't have the names of her parents.
Since that time, I have aquired the names. Sure enough, Bridget's parents names's were John and Catherine! Not sure of what Catherine's maiden name was, however, with the Jersey City connection, it looks like we may be speaking of the same people. Do you have any info on the names of "your" John & Catherine's children? I am not sure if Bridget had siblings, but here is the full list of her children and her wedding info. Look forward to hearing from you!!!!
Bridget Skahill: daughter of John & Catherine Skahill
Married James Desmond on April 17th 1870 at St. Michael's Church 240 9th St. (note* not sure if this is Jersey City OR Brooklyn, I have been told they lived in Brooklyn, NY for a time)
Children: Harold (my great grandfather) Frank, Joseph, John, George, Katie, Florence, & Alice
