Hopkins/Devaney of Dunmore

[righthererightnow]

Thank you! Thank you!  Thank you!

This is a great breakthrough for the Devaney family and your lead is very much appreciated.  That is my Michael Hopkins in Russeltown and I couldn't be happier with this confirmation.

Thank you!

I'm actually a descendant of Margaret Devaney's brother Mark as it happens. Margaret's brother Thomas is in the Griffith Valuation.
As I mentioned, I didin't record Michael and Margaret's descendants when I had the chance but if you have any trouble getting that book, be sure to contact me and I'll look it up (it's in the National Library here) and I'll get whatever info you want.

I'm glad to be of help.

Thank you again!

I'm on the hunt for the book and am having little success.  I do have a call out there and  have my fingers crossed.  LDS also has a copy of the book, but I am afraid I won't be able to order it and receive the book before they close for the Summer.

I returned from Ireland in Feb and it looks like I need a quick return trip!

Thanks for the offer of the look up.  It is very appreciated!

Your very distant cousin!  Crabby

Michael Hopkins married Mary Coppinger. She was the daughter of Michael Coppinger and Catherine Fahey from Athenry Galway.

Michael and Mary lived in Concord, Massachusetts.

I have information for Mary (Coppinger) Hopkins sister Nora (Coppinger) Finnegan.

Hello Crabbya,

This is my connection.
Michael Coppinger 1836-1928 of Athenry Galway was married to Catherine Fahey of Athenry, Galway.  They had at least two daughters. One was Mary Coppinger b. 10 November 1866 and died 1956.  She married Michael Hopkins b. 1864 and died 1940.  They wed on 11 January 1894 in Concord, Massachusetts

Nora, or Hanora Coppinger was born 10 June 1869 in Athenry, Galway and married Thomas Francis Finnegan in Concord Massachusetts in 1899.  Their one child was born and died in 1900.  He is buried at St. Bernard's Cemetery in Concord, Massachusetts.

Thomas F. Finnegan fell down the elevator chute at the Chickering Piano Factory in Boston, Massachusetts and died several days later at Boston City Hospital.  This was in 1903.

I am looking for information as to what happened to Nora Coppinger Finnegan after the death of her husband.  All I know is that she returned home to Ireland for awhile and then in 1910 returned to Boston.  She is not buried in the Thomas F. Finnegan plot at St. Bernard's Cemetery.

Thomas was an older brother of my grandfather Michael E. Finigan (the spelling of the surname changed often to confuse).  He was born in Concord and so was I.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Although I am not familiar with the Coppinger side of your family, I can definitely introduce you to Mary's Greatgrandson.  I tried to PM you, but your mailbox is full.

Growing up in Concord, you have been passing by relatives for years!  i would love to help!

Hello,

I’m very new with this but I’d like to connect with anyone you suggest so I can figure out what happened to my great aunt Nora (Coppinger) Finnegan after her husband Thomas died in 1903.

She is not buried in Concord Mass with her husband. Or the Hopkins, the family of her sister.

Thank you,
Fenway
