I have searched everywhere i can find and have been unable to find any information on my gggrandparents. All i have so far is Thomas was born in Upperchurch Tipperary, Ireland in 1838. And Julia also born there i believe in 1845.
Thomas came to the US in 1851 and to Ottawa, IL in 1852. Julia later joined him and they were married in 1864. THey had 5 children. Helen(nelly), John(my ggrandfather), James Patrick (died at 3), Mary(minnie), and Julia E. (Jeweletta). They lived in Ottawa, IL and Thomas ran a hotel here called Marquette House. He died in 1880. Julia lived until Sept. of 1913.
This is all i know. I have been trying to find out anything i can on Thomas and Julia's family. Did they have siblings? Who were their parents? ANYTHING......If these names sound familiar to anyone else or if anyone knows anything about them, i would greatly appreciate it if you would let me know. I am at a brick wall, as i cannot afford the lookups etc. SO again, thank you in advance if you can help me.
