Murrays; Cork to Mayo to Buffalo, NY
Hoping for some links
Patrick and Michael Murray were born in Cork around 1845. Unknown First name for dad, mom's was Catherine.
Very early, probably by 1850, they moved to Mayo. I am told the English probably expelled them, because the land was better in Cork.
Patrick married Catherine Higgins and their children were baptized in islandeady parish, Mayo.
James- did not immigrate. Buried Kilmaclasser cemetery, 1948.
Martin- born 1865, died Buffalo, NY 1948.
Patrick- 1861
Edward -1867
Mary- 1868
thomas- 1870
Catherine- 1872.
Around 1872, Michael and patrick immigrated without their families to Buffalo, NY. Patrick died 1876. Around 1882, Catherine Higgins Murray packed up her kid, and her mother in law, and immigrated to Buffalo. Assuming stayed with michael and his family.
Was in Islandeady in Sept., and saw church, and cemetery, but not a lot of headstones. Looking for grandpa's first name, and connection to other kids.
