Margaret Scanlon
My great grandfather James Scanlon married a Beesy Boles in early 1867 and they had a daughter Margaret born around Nov 1, 1867 in Ballymote, Sligo. At some point the story goes that Beesy and James contracted Typhoid Fever and Beesy didn't make it. Margaret was shared back and forth between James and his new wife Winifred Gillen and their family and Beesy's parents, Ellen Lynch and Thomas Boles. James would walk to where Margaret was staying when he didn't have her and one day he got to her relatives and was told her grandparents took her to America (they had been upset he had married so soon after Beesy died). I think they settled in New Jersey but I don't know if they changed her last name or if she married and had a family. I cannot find any information on her whatsoever. Does anyone know anything about the family and what happened to Margaret? None of really knows what happened to her. Any kind of information would be appreciated. Thanks.
