Message Board Post:
I am seeking information on my paternal grandmother's maternal Grandmother, whose
maiden name was Anna roycroft or raycroft. I was recently going over my grandmother's
notes on her grandmother, and it appears she was born in Ireland. She married a man with
the surname of Desmond. At some point they moved from Ireland to Halifax, Nova Scotia
Canada, where she was widowed from Mr. Desmond.
All I know about Anna Roycroft or Raycrofts parents is that they were from Ireland, and
her mother;s maiden name was Anna O'Driscoll. Anna Roycroft Desmond later married my
great-great Grnadfather, Andrew Jackson Young about 1859 in Virginia City, Nevada. Where
they had there three daughters Mary, Annie, and Emma, according to the 1870 Census, which
show Anna as having been born in Halifax, nova scotia, canada.
any information or leads would be appreciated.
Cordially
Keith H. Seymour
great-great grandson of Anna (Roycroft/Raycroft) Desmond Young
