Hi Michael,
Do you happen to know what part of Donegal your Carrs are from? My
gr-grandmother, Catherine Carr Ward lived in Leagans, Inver Parish, County
Donegal from approx. 1840 thru at least 1883. Catherine & Michael Ward had
11 children. Apparently she died prior to the 1901 Census. I know that in
both the 1901 & 1911 Census there were a few Carr families in adjacent
counties.
Let me know if you see any connection.
Tom Ward

I'm another Michael Carr whose Carrs came from Donegal. My
immigrant
ancestor was Arthur Carr who came to New York at 12 or 14 years, perhaps
by himself, perhaps with a younger sister, in 1855.
These Carrs lived in Brooklyn for generations, until the mid-1970s.
