MCDONNELL/MCDONALD

Looking for any information on James McDonnell/McDonald. His death cert shows parents names as James McDonnell and Mary Welsh. He came to Boston before 1836. James the son born between 1811-1813 maybe county Louth or Dongal. He married Mary Moran in Boston in 1836 then Catherine Fallon, in 1847.Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Pam:

I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and there are no James McDonnell baptismal records around 1810-1815 with the parents names you listed. Likely he was baptized in a parish which no longer has records back to 1810-1815.

Have you considered DNA testing?
