Owen McAndrew
Owen McAndrew was born about 1832 and met and married Bridget Flanagan Walsh born about 1835 after her husband John Walsh died about 1840. I'm interested where in Ireland each was born?
My name is James McAndrew and Owen McAndrew and Bridget Flanagan Walsh are my Great Grandparents. They emigrated from the townland of Carrowcloghy in the parish of Crossmolina to the U.S. about 1868. My grandfather Anthony J. McAndrew was the firstborn child on 27 August 1868. He was baptized on 28 August 1868 in St Mary of Mt. Carmel Church in Dunmore Pennsylvania. The McAndrew Family appears first in the 1970 US Pennsylvania Census living in Pittston Township, Pennsylvania. The family settled in the Avoca/Duryea area by 1880.
Owen McAndrew died in Duryea, PA on 27 October 1906. On his death certificate, it lists his father as D. McAndrew, but it is scribbled so it could be an O. too. His mother is scribbled as Mary Dunnigan. He is buried in St. Mary Cemetery in Avoca, PA. His obituary published on 29 October 1906 stated he was survived by his wife and one sister Bridget Coleman. In St. Mary Death Register states she died Avoca, PA on 13 August and buried on 15 August 1910 in St Mary Cemetery. She was 80 years old and the wife of Patrick Coleman (deceased). No death certificate was located for Patrick Coleman or Bridget Coleman.
In Bridget Coleman's Obituary stated she had three daughters Ann Mullen, Mary Grady, and Bridget Leahy and one son James Coleman. The children were all born in Ireland between 1854-1863. I would like to find more about where Patrick Coleman and Bridget McAndrew were married and where their children were born.
