Patrick Quinn to America in 1863.

Cork

My great grandfather Patrick Quinn, is said to have been from Cork, as related by my grandmother, his daughter-in-law.  County Cork, or the city of Cork we do not  know.  He was married to Jane Williamson who was born in Ireland but her parents were from Scotland.  Patrick Quinn was born circa 1837 and died in 1903 in Baltimore Maryland, USA.  I would love to connect with relatives in Ireland today and learn more of my family background.  There is not much information available about Patrick.

Hi

Thank you for your message. 

Do you know much about their emigration? The dates, the reason why they left, who they may have travelled with?..etc..Generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than the port of departure. If you knew which city they arrived at (e.g. Liverpool, New York, etc.), this could be a good place to find more information. -And perhaps even find out an exact place of origin.

Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.

Kind regards,
