I'm trying to determine where my Greatgreatgrandfather was from in
Ireland.
Patrick CAREY b. about 1805 in Ireland (county unknown) - Roman
Catholic-
married Elizabeth MURPHY and had at least two sons, Patrick and Michael,
born in Ireland. My estimate is that they emigrated to Canada about
1832 -34 where they settled in New Glasgow just north of Montreal.
Several more children were born there: Mary born c. 1834, Edward born
1837, John born c. 1840, Alice born c. 1846 and James born 1847.
The family moved to Troy NY USA in 1855.
Patrick Carey died 2 Jan 1861 in Troy.
Elizabeth Murphy Carey died 3 Sept 1896
Patrick (the son) married Bridget GALLAGHER in 1854 in Troy and moved
to Rutland VT for several years where they had several children
before returning to Troy. He died 13 Jan 1883 in Troy. Bridget died 23
May 1896 in Troy
Michael married Elizabeth BYRNES in 1866 in Montreal. He died 30
Sept.1910 in Troy. Elizabeth died 15 July 1890 in Troy.
Mary died in Dec 1914 in Troy. She apparently never married.
Edward married Catherine Anna CHURCH. He died 3 Aug 1898 in Troy.
I do not have the date of death for Catherine Anna.
John married Catherine FARRELL. He died 18 Oct 1931 in Troy. I do not
have the date of death for Catherine.
Alice died 17 Feb 1863 in Troy at age seventeen.
James married Margaret O'BRIEN. He died 24 June 1887 in Troy.
Margaret died14 Apr 1915 in Troy.
Is anyone out there related to this family? I'd love to hear from you
and compare notes.
