Tansey - Roscommon to MA
I am researching the lineage of Patrick Tansey and his wife, Bridgett Elwood.They hailed from Boyle, Roscommon, Ireland and there, they were married 11 Feb 1834.The marriage was witnessed by Thomas Tansey (perhaps a brother) and a Margaret Henry(?illegible).They had at least 2 children as I have a baptismal record for Mariani (Mary) of 4 aug 1851, witnesses Matheo and Ellena Tansey; and Michael 22 Sep 1854, witnesses Thomas and Bridget Tansey; both baptisms having taken place in Boyle, Roscommon, Ireland.
Patrick and Bridget emmigrated to the US approx. 1860 and settled in Lowell, MA.There, their daughter Mary married Edward Sheridan in 1873.They migrated to the Midwest and settled in Chicago where they raised 6 children.
If anyone has connections to this family, I would be glad to hear from you!
