I am looking for any information about Roseanna Muldoon-born April c 1817. Her parents were Thomas Muldoon and Bridget Gill. She emigrated to the Boston area in 1832 and married Edward Quinn.She died in 1904 in Randolph, MA.
She had several Muldoon relatives who also lived in Randolph , Ma. They were Catherine Muldoon ( c1814-1885) possibly a sister and Bridget Muldoon (born Feb. c1828) in Ardagh-Moydow-died Feb. 1897 in Randolph, MA. Parents either James Muldoon and Esther Green or possibly James Muldoon and C. Ward. Bridget emigrated to the Boston area in 1847 with Ann Muldoon, Joseph Ward and Harriet Ward.Other Ward names are Christopher and Mary Ward who were in the US by 1850.
Roseanna and Catherine Muldoon married brothers Edward ( 7 October c1802-1858) and Barnard ( Barney) Quinn.( 15 April c1810-1888). There was possibly another brother Patrick. Their parents were Peter Quinn and Margaret Mulligan-dates and place unknown.
Edward Quinn and Roseanna Muldoon were my great-great grandparents. My brother and I are going to be in Ireland for the first three weeks of June and plan to visit this area. We would appreciate any suggestions as where to look for any information ( Church records, cemeteries, civil records etc.)
Thank you.
