Seeking information about my Great Grandfather and family: William P.J. Taaffe, b. Ire. 1838, came to USA 1865 and settled in NYC. Married Anna (nee?? - want to know!): she was b. in Ire. 1849, came to USA 1870. They had nine children, all born between 1871 and 1888. As of 1900+, names of six known children are: William (Jr.), Mary, (who married a McCahill and had a son, Joseph), Margaret, Thomas, Anna (a school teacher) and Christine (my Grandmother), all born in NY. Per the 1900 Census for NY, looks like Wm. (and his son, Wm.), were working as clerks in a "brewery" (? - nearly illegible, best guess) at that time. I have more details and am willing to share. I will deeply appreciate any information or suspicions. Thanks very much, and best of luck in your own searches.
