They immigrated to Worcester from ? Co Ireland about 1850's. Most of them lived in Worcester & Leicester. Some are buried at St John's and St. Joseph's. Children all born in Ireland also immigrated - Bridget (b 1820's married Peter Goss), John J (b 1835) married Ellen Hughes, Hugh (b 1838 - Civil War Soldier married Elizabeth Gibbons), Mary (b about 1840 married Ferron?) Ann (b about 1846 married Owen Drury). I am particularly interested in John J and Ellen Hughes - their son John W (b 1867) Oakham married Clara Connor and died 1933 in Rutland. There aren't many male descendants in this group, but I would like to find one willing to take and compare DNA results with me. e-mail = JamesonNadeau@rgv.rr.com
