Hope I've posted this in the right place! A while since I've been on here.

Her daughter Mary was christened 1860 in Annagh, Mayo. Husband was Peter.

Grateful for any help.

Other Countries / Irish Doctor in Africa/Nigeria/Opobo
« on: Monday 11 April 16 13:09 BST (UK)  »
This is from the Irish-American newspaper

MC GUIRE June 13 1888, at Opobo, W.C. Africa, Dr. Bernard MC GUIRE, youngest son of Bernard MC GUIRE, Lisduff, county Westmeath, and brother of Rev. Eugene of New York.

I don't even know where to begin looking. I'm trying to figure how the connect to my family. A mother's name would help or if any other nieces or nephews went to join them.

Why was Bernard working in Nigeria? Would that mean he was working for a British company/army?

Where would he have trained to be a doctor? Everyone else was a farmer...

This looks to be his older brother Eugene McGuire in 1880

If you google Rev Eugene McGuire he seems to have moved around parishes a lot in NYC. He was in Brooklyn from 1849-1852.

And that is all I have.
