Family History Beginners Board / Browns in Scranton, Pa. - found
« on: Tuesday 16 August 11 15:08 BST (UK)  »
April, 23, 2012 -- We've found a solution to this search for a Brown family that settled in the Scranton, Jessup, Pa. area. Patrick Brown (b. abt 1842) in Ireland. Husband of Anna Durkin (b. abt 1853 in England to 2 Irish parents).
According to the 1880 Census, children were Mary Jane, 11, Celia, 9, Annie, 5, John, 3, and Ellen, 2 months.
Annie married John J. O'Malley on Oct. 24, 1900 in Jessup, Pa. O'Malley was born in 1875. John Brown married Katie Cunniff (b. 6-14-1880) on June 19, 1901 in Jessup, Pa. Celia married Peter J. Gaughan in 1897 in Jessup, Pa.
It turns out husband Patrick Brown died around 1880 or 1881, perhaps of tuberculosis. Anna Durkin remarried to a man named Ward (James or John) by 1883. ... They had four more kids - William Ward (b. 1883), Katie Ward (b.1885), Elizabeth Ward (b. 1887) and Grace Ward (b. 1893). ... Katie married an Ambrose Walsh and settled in Syracuse. Grace married Joseph J. Langan. Elizabeth married Frank McCluskey. William married Mary Rosar in 1915. ... Thanks to message boards like this, we found our answers.

Greetings. I am beginning my research. Mary Munnelly was my great-great grandmother. Married on 15 Feb 1868 to Peter Gaughan in Belmullet, County Mayo. She had a brother, Patrick. I think her father's name is John. I have good information on Peter's son, Peter J. Gaughan (b. 1872, d. 1935) and his descendants. I would greatly appreciate any info on the Munnelly-Gaughan family tree.
