I am hoping that someone would be willing to do a marriage look up for me in the Buffalo, New York area. I am searching for information on John Donovan married to Hannarah/Hanora "Hannah" Sweeney (the spelling of her name varies). They would have married between 1836-1844 in or around Buffalo, NY. My hope is to find out if John or Hannah listed where they were born in County Cork, Ireland, along with their parents names. I would be internally grateful and the happiest lass in the world! If you can help me, please contact me @

John met Hannah while in Buffalo. Their first son Michael was born in Buffalo, July 4, 1844. The family next shows up in next in Chicago area around 1846.
I have most everything from 1846 on including citizenship papers, death certificate, etc. that only reveal that John was born in County Cork.
