Christopher Dillon and Delia Bridget Croffey New Jersey
« on: Sunday 01 September 13 22:35 BST (UK) »
I am looking for information on my grandfathers brother, Christopher Dillon 1869 - 1951. Born near Ahascragh, Ballinasloe Ireland. His wife Delia Bridget Croffey is probably from the same area. Christopher moved to New Jersey along with his two brothers.  I would appreciate any information on them and their families.

You may find some of these Hudson Co. databases helpful - http://www.hudsoncountynjgenealogy.org/databases-pub.html  There are quite a few Dillons listed as buried in Holy Name Cemetery, so you may be able to work out if any of them may be yours.
