Questions/thoughts:
- Why were the girls born in England. Did Edward leave Ireland before 1835?
- Most likely Mary, who would be about 20 in 1855, is married as she does not appear on the 1855 New York Census
- Could Mary bc1835 be the Mary McGlauhin noted in the Patrick McIntyre Inquiry, 1863?
- On Edward's Naturalization Papers he said he came to the US c1842. If he lived in Johnstown for seven years in 1855, where in the US was he and his family between 1842 and 1848?
- Edward states he owns land. There might be land papers for him in New York state,
- How did he get from a farm in Johnstown, NY to San Francisco, CA and why?
- Mary bc1835 and Catherine bc1841 should be siblings of Patrick bc1831.
