The family story is this: There were three Daniels sisters born in Dublin. Their mother died. Their father remarried and this step-mother died. Their father left the children in Dublin and went to England to find work and never returned.
We have found three sisters in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada
Teresa Jane Daniels born 12 Jan 1875, Place:No. 2 South City, City of Dublin, Ireland
Mary Catherine Daniel(s) born 30 Jul 1872, Place as above
Josephine S. Daniels no information found in Ireland yet.
We have found, in the Irish Ancestry records, a brother and another sister,
Thomas John Daniel(s) born 8 Aug 1873 Place: Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
Annie Mary Daniel born 14 Sept 1878, Place: Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
The family story continues that another sister stayed in Dublin as a Roman Catholic Nun.
Could this be Annie Mary Daniel (s)?
The parents of these siblings were Thomas Joseph Daniel (s) and Mary Jane Murphy.
Where can we find additional information about this family in Ireland?
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks, Anna
