Roche Family IRL>NYC
Greetings;
My mother's grandmother was Margaret Roche born 1876 Limerick, Ireland-immigrated to NYC in 1896. She had 2 known brothers-Michael(born 1875) and Thomas Roche(born about 1880). Known sisters include Delia Roche and Cecilia Roche (born about 1888). All from Limerick area.
Cecilia married John Green born 1882-from the Killmallock area of Ireland. She immigrated in 1901, he did in 1902.
They met and married in NYC June &, 1924.
Cecilia and John lived with her brother Thomas Roche.
Margaret met and married in NYC-a James Carroll from the Limerick area as well. He worked in NYC at Central Park as a Hansom Cab Driver until he got sick in Dec 1917 and died from the Great Flu Epidemic. They had 5 girls.
Margaret's father (parent's names-unknown)worked as a Valet for a british colonel there in Limerick. That is all that is known.
I would appreciate any info if anyone has it.
Thank you,
Carol
