Hello again!
I've been given this computer but am learning the ropes so please bear with me.
Some time ago I located a grave marker for John & Rose Lawlor-Delahanty (John, I suspected, was John & Margaret Burke-Delahanty's youngest child). The grave was in Mount St. Mary's. While visiting I walked around the marker & BANG! There, to my amazement, was mention of John's parents, John & Margaret (complete with date of death/burial & age; no town/county of origin). Just a few feet away is a marker to the memory of James Flanagan erected by his wife, Bridgit Delahanty! (John & Margaret's eldest child).
Not a bad day of research, eh?
I've learned about some of John & Margaret's children. They came to the US with 7 children but by the 1860 census only 5 were mentioned. I have copies of the ship's manifest that identifies the family (2 shipments; Feb 1849 & Feb 1850). I do not know (but would love to) if they came to stay with relatives.
I had no idea what county they came from until I discovered a book entitled "Bishop O'Loughlin's Marriage Dispensations" wherein it mentions the marriages of Michael (#4 child) & John (#5 child); (Lucy Lee & Rose Lawlor, respectively). I also learned that there is a small cemetery in Astoria on the original grounds of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel church &, within that cemetery is a gravestone of Thomas Delahanty, 17 year old son of Margaret & John Delahanty, of Co. Tipperary.
Pretty good triangulation. But how did you discover Thurles? This pinpoint has eluded me (at considerable expense I might add).
Well, that's about enough for now. You may feel uncomfortable giving me your address but I'd love to send copies of what I have -if you would help me with your Delahanty stuff.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Kevin
