Hi Nancy, My great grandmother was Margaret Cannon born around 1856 or so
in Ireland, where I don't know although I do think Galway. She came to
Boston in 1868 and married Patrick Higgins in 1874. They had one Child,
Thomas in 1875 and then they went to Iowa for some reason and had four more
children, three of whom lived, Margaret, 1878, Mary, 1880 and James 1882.
In 1885 they have another child, Bridget Agnes and in 1887 Edward, both of
whom were born in Boston. So somewhere between 1875 and 1885 they were in
Iowa. When they came back here, they lived on Market Street and Kelley
Court in Brighton and then they settled into a three family on Blue Hill Ave
in Mattapan. Does this sound at all familiar? Thanks
Maureen
