We are looking for information on the Maurice Sisk family. We have no idea where Maurice and Abby Sisk are. We only found Maurice on the 1850 Middlesex County, Mass Census and Abby was listed on that census also and on the Big Bend Township, Republic County, Kansas - 1880 Census. She was listed as a widowed and had the Later Children with her. However, we can traced them back to Cork, Ireland and towns they lived in and also know the name of their parents.

BACKGROUND:

MAURICE:
Born: 1816, Ireland
Married: Abby Lynch (b.1817, Ire.) 1841 in Ireland
CHILDREN BORN IN IRELAND:
Mary Sisk Helley; b. 1843; Edward Sisk, 1844; John Sisk, b. 1845

KNOWN CHILDREN:
Mark Sisk married Patrick Helley, 1867, Knox Co, IL
Edward Sisk, married Jemina Cook, 1867, Knox Co, IL
Edward is in Wood Nat. Cem. Wisconsin, d. 1917

Margaret Sisk married James C. Norton of Galesburn, IL, in Cook Co, IL; 1879, settled in DeWitt, NE; later Crete, NE

We have hit a brick wall and need help, to see if they lived in Iowa.

Thank you,
