Honora was born about 1827 in Roscommon (according to family Where in Roscommon is not known.)
It is believed her parents were John McGeaughen and Margaret Bossong (McGeaughen spelling on her death cert. given by her son).
She married John Cox about 1850 to 1853 using the date of birth for 1st child as the basis for that time frame. Patrick b.1854 d.1927 James b. 1860 Michael b.1864.d.1946 Bridget b.1871 d.1926 Joseph b.1874 d.1910
At this poin twe have photos of the children maybe in their 20,s and their is another girl we are wondering if she is a sister we haven't found a record for. I wonder about the big gaps in years of births could have once been occupied by other children who did not surive, thus explaining the lack of her father John not being represented in the naming paterns, and the unknown sister could actually be a Margaret. Bridget's Death Cert says she had been living in New Jersey 3 years.
I also found this

Also found one for Michael giving the same information though mother's maiden name is spelt wrong. Have photo showin 6 children that are said to be Daughter Bridget and siblings 2 girls Bridget and? 4 boys Patrick, James, Michael, Joseph
Any help is appreciated.
