Looking for connections for my grandmother and great grandparents. My grandmother, Mary Agnes Donoghue emigrated from Gurteen outsdie of Kilgarvan around 1884 to Boston where she lived with her aunt Margaret (Donoughue) Manning. She was later joined in Boston by her sisters Margaret (m. Carlin) and Elizabeth (Agnes or Bessie m. Clark) and her mother Ellen (nee Donoghue). Brother Daniel remained in Gurteen at least through the 1911 census with his wife and family. Whereabouts of brothers Patrick and Cornelius is unknown as well as sisters Helen and Bridget.
My great grandfather John Donoughue may have died around 1884. His parents were Daniel and Ellen.My great grandmother's parents were Ellen (Sullivan) and Denis Donoghue. They may have been from Cork.
