Fermanagh / Re: McClosky (various spellings) Co Fermanagh
« on: Monday 23 January 12 03:20 GMT (UK) »
I don't have Margaret & Patrick's marriage certificate. According to family "lore" Patrick came to the US about 1850 and according to her sister Anna's obituary, Margaret came 10 years later. The obituary also says that the sisters were from Co Fermanagh. That's it! 
Sacred Heart in Greeley Nebraska has Margaret's death certificate (she died after her sister Anna died), but parents are not mentioned. There is no death certificate for Patrick. I really am stuck, aren't I?

Anna McCluskey died of heart disease at the home of her sister Margaret McManus. Anna (sometimes written Annie) McClusky (written McClosky in obituary was 78 years old.
