What was the name of your husband's Canty great-grandmother? I am trying to find out
where in Ireland my gr- gr- great-grandmother, Mary Forest Canty, was born. She was
married to Jeremiah Canty (I don't know when). They most likely were married in
Ireland before they emigrated. It's possible that Jeremiah (and perhaps Mary as well)
was from County Cork. They lived in Erie, Pa., from the 1840s until Mary died on Feb. 22,
1871, in Erie. Jeremiah lived until 1882 and even remarried -- although at the time of
his death he was estranged from his second wife and in the process of being divorced. Any
help with these two individuals would be most appreciated!!
