Joseph & Anastacia Sparks, New York City, NY, born 1850-1860 IRELAND
Hi folks,
Looking for more information in regarding my oldest known relatives.
Joseph and Anne Sparks immigrated to New York City in the 1870's from Kilkenny, Cork County, Ireland.I don't know too much about them.I know Joseph was an ornemental mason who was contracted to work on St. Peters Cathedral but died before doing any work.He died at a young age, likely in the early 1870's widowing Anne who lived at the old age of 103 dying in the early 1950's.
They had 3 children in the 1870's; James, Anastacia and Mary Sparks.James ended up settling in Mount Vernon, NY with wife Irene King and had Joseph, Irene, Dorothy, Vincent, James and Edward.Three of the boys; Joseph, Vincent and Edwards became Mount Vernon police officers (1930's - 1950's)and their children still have roots in Mount Vernon. Anastacia "Stacia" lived in Manhatten, NY until her death, she was unmarried and had no children. I know very little of Mary Sparks.
If anyone has any more information in regarding Joseph Sparks (1845-1855) or Annie Sparks (1850) or any relatives in Ireland before they immigrated please feel free to share.
Thanks,
Aaron Sparks
