I have been researching Jermiah Carroll for five years. He is my maternal great grandfather. Jeremiah was born in New York in 1854, I have looked at the census and can not find him in New York. He died in 1894 at the age of 40 yrs in Chicago, Illinois(Cook co. ) He married Elizabeth Meehan from Cobourg, Ontario, Canada and had 4 children there. Mary, John, Thomas and Francis. They then moved to Chicago. Steven was born, James, Edward Arthur, Jeremiah 1880, Elizabeth(my grandmother)1891 and Catherine. I sent for his death cert. and all it said that parents were born in Ireland and he was born in NY. A Lot of my relatives were in Cobourg, Ontario, Canada and I think that he must have met his wife there. If you can be of any help, I would appreciate it. WHERE IN NEW YORK? I CAN'T FIND OUT! How frustrating. There were other relatives in Poughkeepsie, Dutchess co. NY. James Carroll and Ann Elizabeth, James owned a meat market on Jefferson st. there. I don't know what the relationship was, but James was born in Louth, Ireland in 1832-1834. I have the dates of most of the children. Thank you Jude |
