Migrated to/Born in USA

Thomas Naish (Nash) married Margaret Meskill (Meskell) August 16, 1852 at Askeaton-Ballysteen RC.

3 children were born in Askeaton; Thomas Nash in Nov 1854, John in May 1856; and Michael in May 1860.  Other children including my great grandfather Richard Nash, were born in Watervliet, Albany, NY in the 1860s.  Margaret and Thomas Sr had twins born in 1869 per the Watervliet, NY parish records however Margaret and the twins were not in the 1870 census so they presumably died in 1869/1870.  Thomas Sr was listed in the city directories up to 1876.  Presumably he died 1875/1876 in Watervliet, Albany, NY, USA.

I have never found immigration records but based on the baptismal records in Watervliet, they arrived about 1862.   NY state death records are sparse or non-existent during this time period so finding out death dates is problematic unless the church death records survive which in this case do not.

    Irish press warns against Jamaican Indentured Servitude

    <p>The theme was always the same: the pestilential climate of the island, the reduction of poor emigrants to slaves, the severity and cruelty of the planters (and planter-dominated Assembly clinging to every vestige of oppression) and, of course, the absence of priests and chapels.</p>
