Any information on Margaret Creagh, who we believe is from Cork, would be helpful.
The family tree can be seen here:

Please also note i have searched
http://www.ellisislandrecords.org/ and there is not a Margaret Creagh with the right age who arrived at that time (1900).
http://www.ellisislandrecords.org/ We also checked
http://www.castlegarden.org/ to see if she might have arrived earlier. What i am finding in my research is that census takers sometimes guessed at ages and sometimes misspelled names.
Thanks,
Melissa
