LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON JOHN THOMAS OR MAYBE JUST THOMAS CURRAN B: OHIO JAN 1854 HE MARRIED MARY ANN FLANAGAN B: IRELAND MAY 1859 DIED:FEB 1939.
SHE IMMIGRATED TO U.S.IN 1883 WITH (JOHN) THOMAS, HER HUSBAND, WHO, I GATHER MET AND MARRIED HER IN IRELAND AND A SON, MICHAEL, B: IRELAND OCT 1878. ACCORDING TO A 1900 U.S.CENSUS. THEY HAD 3 ADDITIONAL CHILDREN: MY GRANDMOTHER, MARY EVA B: CINCINNATI, OHIO JULY 1884, A SON, THOMAS, JR. B: OHIO JUNE 1891, AND ANOTHER SON, WILLIE H.(WILLIAM?)B: OHIO APRIL 1890. CENSUS ALSO SHOWS NEIGHBOR NAMED SABINA CURRAN, WIDOW, B: IRELAND JAN 1844 AND SON, WILLIAM B: OHIO APRIL 1890. PERHAPS SHE'S A SISTER-IN-LAW.
I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT JOHN CURRAN LEFT THE U.S. AND WENT TO IRELAND AND THEN RETURNED WITH A FAMILY. HE IS LISTED AS A MACHINIST IN THE CENSUS. WHY AND WHEN HE WENT TO IRELAND IS CURIOUS TO ME. ALSO, WHETHER MICHAEL, THE SON WHO RETURNED WITH HIM AND MARY AT THE AGE OF 5, IS HIS SON OR HER SON BY ANOTHER. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU SHOULD HAVE ANY INFO ON THESE FOLKS. THANKS!
