My father Daniel Daugherty believes that my grandfather Robert Henry Daugherty came over here from Ireland before marrying my grandmother Elsie Amelia Thorpe. I plan on traveling to Ireland either this year or next and would like to find out more about my family history before I go there. So if anyone has information that could help I would appreciate it very muchly thank you.; ▶ Reply to This

Mary's family is from Navan, Co Meath and this is documented with correspondence we still have. We suspect Bernard came from Ardbraccan, Co Meath but have no information at all about Bernard's background or family in Ireland. I would very much appreciate any lead that could help us find about Bernard's father, mother, sibblings or any other related information.

Thanks

Unusually, his mother also emigrated to the USA some time after him (date unknown) and went to live with him in New York. As far as I know, they both died there.

I've been trying to trace them for quite a while, so I would really welcome any leads, however unlikely they may seem!
Thanks.

He originally was in Illinois, came to Brooklyn, NY and became a prominent residential builder. I have letters from sisters and his father, Phillip, from Co. Meath - Summerhill, Enfield & Moy, Ireland are listed as residence, but no street number. They were land owners, last registered to Jane Ryan, sister Mary, resided with her. Both were unmarried. From my research I've found he had brothers Christopher & Nicholas, and sisters, Jane & Mary, who may have been twins. Perhaps there is a connection. If anyone has further info to share, I'd appreciate the help!; ▶ Reply to This
