Searching for info on John Welch, who married Bridget Hennessey. John came from Ireland, as did Bridget, but one document says she was from England. They may have married in New York approx 1850-54. They settled in Delaware County, Iowa. First born was Edward in 1855, followed by Margaret, Ellen and William. John died in Dec of 1870. Edward worked for the railroad and eventually settled in Plymouth County Iowa, marrying Mary Pelroy.
Does this sound familar to anyone?
Thank you!
