: Looking on info. on my family from Ireland. Joseph Fox, my great : grandfather,came to Brooklyn in 1881 from Ireland. He : died in 1891 at the age of 37 (b. around 1854). His wife was Catherine Hughes, daughter : of Patrick Hughes and Catherine Fineran. Catherine died in 1916 at the : age of 57 (b. 1859?). It appears Catherine had a brother who emigrated before her. My grandmother, Catherine M. Hughes, was the daughter of Thomas Hughes & Maria/Moriah/Mary Kearney. She was born in 1890 in Bushfield, Castleplunket, Castlerea, Co. Roscommon. There were 14 children in all - including a Patrick & an Ellie, who married a Patrick FINNIGAN. Thomas Hughes, who was born in 1867, in Cloonsfad ?, Kittville ?, Castlerea, was the son of John HUGHES & Ellen STAUNTON. We have some similar names in our lines, so perhaps we can make a connection somewhere. I have no other information of John HUGHES & Ellen STAUNTON, so if you find any information on them, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you. : John Hughes is buried in our family plot. He died in 1899 and his death certificate says he : was 59 years old (b. 1840?) and had been in the US for 33 years and in : New York City for 30 years.
