I am searching for my great grandparents Thomas Donahue (1830-1880) and Bridget Connolly (1836-1897). Bridget's Father's name was John.
I do not know where in Ireland they were from. Their 2 oldest children were born in Ireland. Hannah (1862) and Penelope (1864). 7 more children were born in Massachusetts.
I recently found that they came to New York 24Jun1864 on the ship "Ariel" originating in Galway. They settled in Sheffield, Mass and then Boston.
I've found alot of "Thomas" and "Bridget's" but nothing very conclusive so I tried using Hannah and Penelope (Penny) as well but have had no results. I'm mostly using Ancestry.com and Familysearch.org .
Thank you, Jerry Donahue

Jerry,
Don't forget, nearly every Bridget went by Delia so search for Delia as well.
Best regards,
