Hello to all list members.I am trying to find records of the GERAGHTY branch of my family, as follows:
Peter GERAGHTY, born 1809/13, Ireland. Emigrated to Mann (now Oak Bay/Cross Point) QC
ca1842/44 with 1st wife, Margaret GERAGHTY? KEANE?
Married 2nd wife Ann HARPER in Restigouche QC. in 1852. Children: Mary GERAGHTY born in Ireland ca 1840
Christopher GERAGHTY, born in Ireland ca. 1842.
They were accompanied to Canada by: John GERAGHTY, born in Ireland ca. 1821, son of Matthew GERAGHTY and brother to either Peter
or Margaret, and by Christopher KEANE, uncle to either Peter or Margaret Geraghty
All members of this family were Roman Catholics, all born in Ireland, and believed
to have emigrated from Mullingar in County Westmeath.
Have traced the family through all Canadian Church and Census records; preliminary
research reports from Westmeath Heritage Centre have provided possibilities
but no certainties. I will be most grateful
for any information, suggestions and/or other help.
Many Thanks,
Velma Geraghty .
