Are you still trying to trace information on the Rafferty family of Newcastle-under-Lyme.  Annie Rafferty who married Edward Smith was my grandmother.  Mary, Annie's daughter, went to live in Rhode Island, USA in 1907.  She went to her Aunt Mary who was married to Charles Zemper.  I do have more information on the family if you are still interested.  I am trying to trace where in Ireland the family originally came from.   Please get in touch if you are still looking into family history.
Thanks Mary

I am trying to find out where my Great-grandparents Edward and Bridget Rafferty came from in Ireland.  They had Mary, Catherine, Thomas, Michael and Ann.  Mary moved to Wakefield, Rhode Island around 1894 and married Charles Zemper.  James Rafferty married Ann Connors and they had Annie, Mary Agnes and James.  Mary Agnes went to live in Wakefield Rhode Island in 1907.   Edward Smith married Ann Rafferty (daughter of Edward and Bridgett).  Ann had Mary Rafferty in May 1895 before she married Edward (do not yet know father of Mary).  Mary also went to Rhode Island to Aunt Mary Zemper in November 1907.  I have quite  a bit of information on the Raffertys but do not know where they originally came from in Ireland or when they came to Newcastle-under-Lyme.  Ann Smith (nee Rafferty) is my Grandmother.  I would also like to know if Edward Rafferty had a brother named Michael  who went to live in Mystic, Connecticut.
