This is complicated!!
 This maybe connected with Tipperary, Ireland. More exactly, maybe Clonmel.
In the U.S.A. it is connected with Massachusetts, and maybe specifically Boston.
There are TWO stories, connected, but I am not sure exactly how!
Story1)
Thomas Hayes married Hannah Gleeson(Date ?)
Some children:-
Clara Hayes(unmarried died 1960s/70s)
Thomas Hayes married Lizzie Ryan(Date ?) - no children
George Hayes married Rose Casey(Date ?)
Some children:-
George(Married?) - No children - He might have been a Doctor.
Jack(wife?) - 8 children - lived in Boston, Mass. - He might have been a Doctor also.

Mary Gleeson went with parents Hannah Mary and Michael to U.S.A.
(Family story: Michael went out to buy something at the shops. He returned some years later! He had joined the Union Army this was at the time of the Civil war. The family have some uniform buttons and his neckerchief)
Gleeson family may have had a Milk business in Florence, Mass.
Mary Gleeson returned to Ireland(Clonmel), met William Joseph Morrissey and married.
Went back to U.S.A.on her own, expecting baby.
William Joseph would not go, so she returned.
William Joseph was a teacher. Family may have had a grain shop in Gladstone street, Clonmel
First child James was born in U.S.A.. The rest:- Tom and Nell born in Ireland,(Clonmel?)
Tom was Secretary Of Education, Nell was a teacher.

If any of this rings a bell with anyone, please get in contact,

Are all of these people definitely deceased?  You may not be aware of it, but it is against the rules of Roots Chat to post about people who are living or may be living. 

I can't really tell from your post when some of these people may have been born.  For those who are definitely deceased, more specific details about their ages/places of birth, time of immigration, etc. may help to find them.

Hi, I wasn't aware of the rule, but I do not think I have contravened it.  The only people who may be alive would be "The eight Children", who lived in Boston, Mass., who would have been born circa 1920.   All the people mentioned in Clonmel, Tipperary, are no longer alive.
I have just started on this particular investigation, I am trying to determine some date parameters. 
Thanks for your advice.
