Researching Carr family of 5 brothers from County Louth, Ireland. Owen, b 6/24/1827 in
Dunleer, Patrick b 12/25/1829 in Dunleer, Thomas 3/25/1831 in Dunleer, Christopher b
10/31/1834 in Ardee and John b 4/23/1837 in Ardee.
Thomas emigrated to Mass in the and is found in the 1860 census for Westboro,
Worcester County, MA - married to Rosa Hagan, and with a son Thomas, 1 month old. Later,
Thomas moved to McLean, Logan County, IL, and had 4 more children: Mary, Rosa (my
paternal grandmother), Mattie and John.
It appears that Owen and Patrick also emigrated to MA. Also, there is some evidence
that one (maybe two) of the 5 brothers moved to the Glasgow area of Scotland - and were
living there in 1888. One of these brothers may have married a woman named Nancy.
I would be interested in any information on any of these 5 brothers.
