Margaret was born in Athy in or around 1884/1855. She was married in London in 1907 .Her father was James ( a master hairdresser ) and she had a brother called Patrick James or James Patrick. I am trying to trace the name of her mother and the birth place of her father,mother and brother. Hope you can help.

Best wishes

  • Dear ColCaf

    Thank you for this very helpful and interesting response which I have only this morning discovered. I now know how the messaging system works.....!

    I wonder if you can help me to :-

    1  trace the births,marriage and deaths of the parents of Maggie and her siblings

    2 discover when James or Patrick emigrated to the USA. His wedding certificates states that he was a resident of New York.

    Hope you can help.

    With my very best wishes for Christmas and 2016

    Colin

  • P S Have you tried Family Search or Ellis Island Passneger Lists for James & Patrick?

    Perhaps you could scroll through the lists for Patrick & James to find a common arrival date.
