Greetings,
I am looking for my maternal great grandparents. My Nana said that she thought her parents (died when she was
very young) were from either Cork, Sligo or Limmerick.
All we have is:
Peter Morris - (Stonemason) married to Catherine Gardner someplace in the Boston, Massachusetts area.
Catherine would have been born about 1860. No idea on Peter's birth.
We have a bible of Catherine's dated 1872 in Brockton, Massachusetts.
November 20, 1888 (date of my grandmother's birth), Peter and Catherine had my grandmother, Mary Ellen Morris, and they were living at:
23 Cedar Street
Boston, MA USA
Not much to go on, but any help is greatly appreciated
