Thomas Driscoll and Mary McGuire

My great great grandparents were Thomas Driscoll and Mary McGuire who were married at Askeaton 15 February 1838. Thomas Driscoll was born before 1820, and presumably died in Ireland, perhaps1852-1858.  A Thomas Driscoll is recorded in Griffith's Valuation c 1852, house and land 9 acres Townland of Ballysteen, tenant of Edmund Westrop.   Mary McGuire Driscoll and her children emigrated to New York City in the mid 1860's, perhaps 11 May 1866 aboard ship Escort.   They settled in Brooklyn.   The eldest child, Bridget Driscoll was my great grandmother, who married William O'Neill of Rathkeal, perhaps in Ireland, but more likely in New York.  Bridget was baptized at Askeaton 2 January 1839, godparents Thomas Murphy and Mary Murphy.   She died in Brooklyn New York in 1892.
