Mary Ann Cobbe
My GG Grandmother Mary Ann Cobbe was born 14 Dec 1831 and came to Canada by way of the port of New York City in Nov 1851on board the ship Samuel. She boarded the ship in Dublin with many family members. I am not certain she was born in Coolbanagherbut her sister Ann and Ann's husband Robert Ruddcame across with her and their marriage registration was found there, 22 Oct 1850. It shows Ann'sfather's name as William. Ann Cobbe was born approx 1823. A brother David Cobbe was born approx 1825. And another presumed brother identified as "Mister Cobbe" had a cabin on that voyage and he was born approximately 1830. On the ship's manifest it lists a baby named Jane Cobbe born in 1850 directly under my gran's name. We find no record of that child in our family. We don't know if she is a child of my GG Grandmother or if it was placed under her name butbelongs to sibling's family. Regardless there is no link to either of her sibling's families with regards to that child.
Listed on the Ship's manifest is My GG Gran, Mary Ann Cobbe and the infant Jane Cobbe (details above). Her sister Ann Cobbe Rudd and Ann's husband Robert born approx 1826 possibly in Gragavailla, Queens and their child William Albert Rudd listed as 10 months old. Her brother David and his wife Anna Lena Poag (as listed on their daughter's birth record in Canada). And David's son Richard Cobbe born approx 1845 in Ireland. Also "Mister Cobbe" presumed to be a brother born in approx 1830. There is listed an 8 year old child, Gordon Rudd born in approx 1843. I have presumed it is Robert Rudd's younger brother although he is 17 years older than Gordon and could be a parent or could also be a nephew.
That is the basic information. After landing in America and moving to Canada there is plenty of documentation. Pre-immigration info is lacking. Anyone that can add anything at all would be greatly appreciated!
