Hello all, My gr grandmother Elizabeth McQuade married, 2nd time, Benjamin Rothwell in Killucan Ireland. Two sons Benjamin and William were born. Benjamin went to the USA and I am searching for him. He arrived at New York in 1880, married Jemima Goodwin and had 3 children. Elizabeth, Benjamin and Rinjie. By 1910 Benjamin is widowed and I am having difficulty following him and his family. I am hopeful that there may be some family to be found. Can anyone help please.

To RJ137 and Sandra,
To say thanks to both of you sounds rather pitiful when I look at the sheets of family information you have found for me. I did not expect this amount. It is wonderful and with my Grand daughter arriving today we will have a marvellous time filling out the family info sheets. May you both have a wonderful Christmas and New Year and always stay safe.
Regards,
LinnettW

Take Care
Sandra :)
