United States of America / Re: Glasgow to Connecticut, Which Port???
« on: Friday 06 August 04 03:33 BST (UK)  »
Wendy-
New London was a port as well as New Haven - The Ponemah mill records are probably around somewhere - it was still in operation into the 1950s - You might try contacting the Norwich Historical Society - they can steer you to wherever they're stored.

Also, the Norwich Bulletin has to have stories compiled through the years.

US Lookup Requests / Re: LOOKUP OFFER for US Census Records
« on: Friday 06 August 04 03:26 BST (UK)  »
Hi, Megan-
What a generous offer!!
Here are two names I need to have, when you get a minute...
Both are in Massachusetts
1860- Patrick Howe, b. Ireland, circa 1835 - may be listed as a machinist - any others in the home would be great.

1870 - Patrick Doherty, b. New Brunswick, Canada, circa 1840 - may have a wife, Mary - Probable occupation - boilermaker.

Thanks,
Ann

Mayo / Pendergast/Reed
« on: Sunday 01 August 04 17:20 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for the families of Catherine P(r)endergast, and Thomas Reed (Reid).
Catherine was the dau. of William Pendergast and Catherine O'Rourke, and was born circa 1830 - arrived in USA circa 1851. She married Thomas Reed circa 1855 -13 children -11 grew to adulthood. They lived in Cambridge, NY, and Cohoes, NY.
Any help on locating the P(r)endergast family would be grand! Is there a particular part of Mayo that they would have been found  from 1830-1850?
Thanks,
Ann

Hi, Wendy-
I grew up in Norwich, and my grandfather worked in the cotton mills in Taftville- Ponemah and US Finishing. You might want to check the passenger lists for Bridgeport, Ct. I think some ships came into New London as well - also try New Bedford, Mass. There were other ports in New England as well - I'll look them up and post them here -
By the way- my maiden name was Reed, but my bunch came from Ireland to New York state (Cohoes), and worked in the mills there - two of the second generation came from Cohoes to Ct. -my grandfather, Jim Reed, and a brother,Charlie, who ended up in New Britain.
Hope this gives you a lead or two...
Ann
