Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in USA

John Coffey was born in Ireland in approximately 1807.

He and his wife Bridget migrated to the U.S.A. in 1847.  He died on the way of ship fever.

His wife Bridget died upon arrival in Canada.  5 children survived, a daughter Bridget, a daughter Anne, a son Joseph of whom I am a descendant, a son James, a daughter Catherine.

They may have had another child, named John because I found a Catholic Baptism in Dublin, but I am not sure if his parents John and Bridget are the same.  How common are the names John and Bridget Coffey in Ireland?

The daughter Bridget moved to Boston, MA, USA and sent for her siblings.
