Looking for info on family of Richard Donegan b 1813 Ireland m Caroline Merriott b 1827 Oxfordshire m 1843 Stepney Children from censuses: Mary Jane 1847 John J 1852 m Catherine Sullivan Fanny 1854 Ellen 1856 Winifred 1858 Caroline 1862 Thomas 1863 Richard 1865 John and Catherine emigrated in 1882, had John (1875) and Caroline (1878) with them. Had Mary in NY 1882 then had the following in Belleville, NJ: James 1884 Winifred 1886 Ellen 1888 Gertrude 1893 James is my gg grandfather and I would be interested in any info on the other members of the family and anything I can learn about Richard. It appears from the England censuses that Richard and Caroline separated sometime between 1851 and 1861. I can't find any record of him after 1851. However, Caroline had children through 1866 and was never listed as a widow so either they were visiting or some of the children weren't Richard's. I did find an immigration record for a Richard Donegan about the right age in 1868 but not enough info to say that it was him for certain.
