Richard Donegan

Classification: Query
Surnames: Donegan, Sullivan, Merriott
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.
