NAMES & BIRTH DATES OF CHILDREN:- (born in Ireland)

I found on the baptismal records of 4 of their children on irishgenealogy.ie  I know quite a bit about 6 of the children, once they reached America, and their descendants. There may have been a 7thr child, a son. Some family history said he died en route to America, and was buried at sea. No name, though. He may have had a wife and family who survived the trip, but no info on them. 

Jeremiah Mack,of Rockfield,  baptized January 27, 1827, in Milltown, Kerry This is my 2nd great-grandfather. He married Catherine Mahoney. Not sure if they married in Ireland or America. I think Ireland but haven't been able to find anything to verify.  There is a daughter, Catherine McGillicuddy Jr. born 1843 died 1852. Her name is on the grave with her parents in Etrrick, Wisconsin, USA but not certain her body is actually there. 1900 US census records say Jerry immigrated in 1857 and Catherine in 1854.  So if Catherine Junior died in 1952....where?  Some family researchers think she may have been a sister, not a daughter. Jerry died January 18, 1907 in Ettrick, Wisconsin, USA.  He used both McGillicuddy and Mack as a last name in both Ireland and in the US - Catherine died first and her grave says McGillicuddy, but Jerry's says Mack..There are several land/legal documents from the 1860s where he is signing his name Jeremiah McGillicuddy.  He and Catherine had 4 children that lived to adulthood, all born in the USA: Daniel, (1859-1923) Timothy (1864-1939), Dennis (1866-1932)  Kathryn (1868-19152)

Daniel Mack of Ahane, baptized November 11, 1828, in Milltown, Kerry  Emigrated approx 1856. Landed in Boston, Massachusetts and married Hanorah Houran in 1857 in Boston. Their first son, Timothy, was born in Boston. They made their way west to Wisconsin and were there by the 1860 US census. Daughter Abbie born in 1862. Hanorah died in 1863 and Daniel remarried in 1866 to Hanorah Hogan and had 3 more children: Dennis, Daniel, Margaret. He died in 1908 in Iowa, USA.

Ellen Mack of Rockfield, baptized February 12, 1831 in Milltown    The US censuses have Ellen's birth year as 1834, 1836, 1838, and 1840, depending upon which one you look at it. It is obviously all the same person due to the others listed as spouse/children. Assuming the 1831 date is for the same Ellen and not an older sibling who died young. She married Patrick Shea/Shay. I may have found an Irish record of marriage, not sure if it is them or similar names, for February 1857. Children: Jeremiah, Mary Ann, Abigail, Ellen, Margaret. The oldest two born in Ireland. Emigrated 1863. Died sometime after 1910, have not seen any record of her after the 1910 census. 

Julia Mack of Rockfield, baptized August 4, 1835 in Milltown Uncertain emigration: the 1900 US census says 1865 but 1910 says 1850. The later date seems more likely in that she would have been only 15 in 1850 and the other siblings all arrived later. She married a widower, William Quinn in America and had 4 children: Michael, Ellen, William, John. She died in 1912 in Iowa, USA

Two additional children of Timothy & Gobnet were:

Michael, born approx 1841. (no baptismal record found) He emigrated in approx 1863 to Wisconsin, USA and married in 1865 to his first wife, Catherine Sheehan They had the following children in America: Timothy, Henry, Mary, Michael, Jeremiah, John Francis, Dennis, William. HIs wife Catherine died in 1891 and he married Mary Ellen Dollan in 1892. He died in 1911 in Minnesota. 

Hanorah, born November 1849 (no baptismal record found)   Hanorah emigrated to Wisconsin, USA in 1866. She married in 1867 to a German Lutheran immigrant and moved away from the rest of the family and does not seem to have had much contact with them again. Apparently marrying outside of the Catholic Church was a bit of a scandal especially as she was young. Husband = Wilhelm LaGrant. Their children were Abigail, Mary, John Henry, and Ernestina. Hanorah, despite her family estrangement, was the only one who consistently used the name "McGillicuddy" instead of "Mack" on all of her legal documentation in America. She died in 1926 in Illinois.

YEAR OF EMIGRATION

I do not believe Timothy or Gobnet emigrated. All of their 6 children for whom I have records in America have them listed as parents, but there is no evidence these two they ever left Ireland. As all 6 surviving children initially settled in the same rural area in Wisconsin, it seems likely their parents would have as well, had they joined them in the journey. I would love to find out what happened to them in Ireland, where they lived and when they died. 

ANY  OTHER  DETAILS

Names of neighbors in Wisconsin: Cullity, Corcoran, Mahoney, Sheehy. They may be relatives. 

Any information or documentation on any of these people when they lived in Ireland would be greatly appreciated. I am pretty solid on the childrens' lives in America, but Ireland is very nebulous.  Thank you for reading and your time and consideration.
